What physics theory related to the solar energy? State and explain.
Solar scientists want to measure the temperature inside the sun by sending in probes. Imagine that temperature increases by 1 million◦C for every 10,000 km below the surface. A probe that can handle a temperature of x million degrees costs x³ million dollars. a. How much would it cost to measure the temperature 10,000 km down? b. How much would it cost to measure the temperature 100,000 km down? c. How much would it cost to measure the temperature 200,000 km down?
Use the value of the solar energy flux on Earth to determine the radius of the Sun.
Assuming that the Sun's temperature is 5780 K and that its emissivity is 1, find its radius in kilometers. Neglect the temperature of the environment.

- Since the rotation period of the Sun can be determined by observing the apparent motions of sunspots, a correction must be made for the orbital motion of Earth. Explain what the correction is and how it arises. Making some sketches may help answer this question.arrow_forwardSuppose you observe a major solar flare while astronauts are orbiting Earth. Use the data in the text to calculate how long it will before the charged particles ejected from the Sun during the flare reach them.arrow_forwardWhy does the Sun not collapse under its enormous weight? a) The Sun is about 4.6 billion years old. If it could have collapsed by now , it would have. b) Because the Sun is in hydrostatic equilibrium. c) Because the Sun is not in hydrostatic equilibrium. d)More than one of the above.arrow_forward
