The planetary temperature energy balance is obtained by radiating back the absorbed radiation energy from outer-space, by the planet and thus acquiring thermal equilibrium.
What is the process of attaining thermal equilibrium by Earth?
The Stefan-Boltzmann law states that the more the temperature a planet has, the more it will radiate out to reach thermal equilibrium.
We know that outer space contains large masses of radiative energy freely distributed in its vast expanse. A small fraction of this energy is absorbed by the Earth through the atmosphere, surface land, clouds etc.
Now, radiative balance is achieved when a planet's surface continuously warms up until it reaches its peak at which point the same amount of absorbed energy can then be radiated back to space. The relative amount of energy radiated back by a planet is dependent upon the size of the planet.
A colder planet relatively absorbs lower amount of radiation energy from space. In some time, as the planet heats up enough, the energy is radiated back to the space attaining thermal equilibrium.

I want to say that they will be primarily flat but I honestly don't know
Answer:
I_syst = 278.41477 kg.m²
Explanation:
Mass of platform; m1 = 117 kg
Radius; r = 1.61 m
Moment of inertia here is;
I1 = m1•r²/2
I1 = 117 × 1.61²/2
I1 = 151.63785 kg.m²
Mass of person; m2 = 62.5 kg
Distance of person from centre; r = 1.05 m
Moment of inertia here is;
I2 = m2•r²
I2 = 62.5 × 1.05²
I2 = 68.90625 kg.m²
Mass of dog; m3 = 28.3 kg
Distance of Dog from centre; r = 1.43 m
I3 = 28.3 × 1.43²
I3 = 57.87067 kg.m²
Thus,moment of inertia of the system;
I_syst = I1 + I2 + I3
I_syst = 151.63785 + 68.90625 + 57.87067
I_syst = 278.41477 kg.m²
