Planetary Heat Flow

Planetary Heat Flow is a geophysical metric that quantifies the rate of internal thermal energy transfer per unit area from a planet's interior to its surface, distinguishing it from other heat transfer phenomena by its application to planetary-scale systems and its reliance on conductive, convective, and radiative processes within planetary bodies.
