Yeah, OT but when will the USA join modern societies around the world and dump the Farenboggle temperature scale and the Imperial systems of measurement? I thought you guys were all about throwing off the oppression of Royal dictates.
As for equatorial temps onnMars I note that this is the max temp reached. Even if a few spots do reach 35 C there, here on Earth we have equatorial regions that routinely and in widespread areas, reach and exceed that temperature. I was in Peurto Vallarta last February/March and it was 34 C most days that week. Of course I was still a few hundred miles north of the equator. I was also not in the Sahara desert where its not uncommon to have temps in the mid 40s C for months. ( the beach there is fantastic but its a looong way to the surf.) The yearly mean temperature for the Sahara is 30C , how's that compare to the Nars equatorial mean or even the mean temperature of the hottest region of that planet?
As far as comparing temperatures on planets with significant atmospheres goes, that's a nonstarter if one is looking to find anything concerning heating or cooling of the solar system. The contribution to planetary temperatures of an atmosphere depends in a very large part, on the constituents of that atmosphere. An atmosphere of identical thickness and density to Earth's but consisting of different concentrations of the gases will experience a very different climate.
So, Titan and Mars , Pluto, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter and Saturn , which all have atmospheres that differ in their make up will have temperatures that are affected not only by the amount of solar radiation that they receive, but also by the particular response to that radiation of their atmospheres. Confounding this of course is that in geological active planets , that atmospheric make up can change.
So, once again if the contention is to be proved it should involve only rocky objects with unchanging albedos and no atmosphere.
Apples to apples, not apples to tailpipe emissions.
