Area of the planet's atmosphere 2 pi Rp h ----------------------------------- = --------------- Area of entire photosphere pi Rs*Rs Rp h = 2 ---- * --- Rs Rs Here, "h" is something proportional to the scale height of the planet's atmosphere. I'll use a very rough value which is probably on the large side. For our (cold) Jupiter, the scale height is about 30 km, so I'll choose "h" = 300 km for a (hot) Jupiter. For a typical hot Jupiter around a Sun-like star, the ratio is roughly 9 x 10^(-5) ~ 10^(-4) For our Earth, the scale height is very roughly 8 km, so I'll choose "h" = 8 km. That means for an Earth-sized planet around a Sun-like star, the ratio is roughly 2 x 10^(-7)
