    Abstract:
    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.
