The radius of Mars orbit around the Sun averages roughly R Mars 2.28 10 8

Question:

The radius of Mars’ orbit around the Sun averages roughly RMars ≅ 2.28 × 108 km. Assuming that the surface temperature is roughly uniform over the planet’s surface and constant over a Martian day, that the surface is a perfect black body, and that there is no atmosphere, estimate the average surface temperature when the planet is in radiative equilibrium.
