A new undergraduate laboratory experiment demonstrates radiation laws and their applications to climatology and environmental science. The experiment emphasizes the planetary energy budget and effective-temperature concepts. A close look at "planets on the table" brings some unanticipated results that challenge students to think critically, to interpret the results of measurements, and to Come to valid scientific conclusions. © 2008 American Association of Physics Teachers.
