Key Equations

$$T_{\text{eff}} = \left[\frac{S_0(1-A)}{4\sigma}\right]^{1/4} = \left[\frac{2601 \times (1-0.77)}{4 \times 5.67 \times 10^{-8}}\right]^{1/4} \approx 227 \text{ K}$$
$$F_{\text{OLR,max}} \approx 282 \text{ W/m}^2$$
$$\text{SO}_2 + \text{O} \rightarrow \text{SO}_3 \quad ; \quad \text{SO}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$$
$$f = 2\Omega \sin\phi \quad ; \quad \frac{f_{\text{Venus}}}{f_{\text{Earth}}} = \frac{\Omega_V}{\Omega_E} \approx \frac{1}{243} \approx 0.004$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
