If the albedo of a planet increases while everything else is unchanged, the equilibrium temperature

The solar constant at a planet increases by a factor of 16 with everything else unchanged. The equilibrium temperature increases by a factor of

A planet has S = 900 W m⁻², α = 0.20 and e = 1. Its equilibrium temperature is approximately

A greenhouse gas increase lowers the effective emissivity. At the new equilibrium the surface temperature is

In the equilibrium equation, why does the planet's radius not affect the temperature?
