Planetary Surface Temperature

Planetary Surface Temperature is a physical state variable that denotes the average kinetic energy of particles at the interface between a planet's surface and its atmosphere, distinguishing it from atmospheric or subsurface temperatures by specifically characterizing thermal conditions at the planetary boundary accessible to remote sensing and surface processes relevant to habitability.
