- astronomy - How big a coincidence is the Sun and Moon having almost . . .
It's consensus that the very similar apparent sizes of the Moon and the Sun as seen from Earth is a coincidence (as already answered in this site) This provides us with almost exact total solar
- Why does the Sun shine brighter some days? [duplicate]
1) The sun seems brighter (more dazzling) if there is more scattering in the atmosphere The sun would actually look very small to us in the sky if there were no atmosphere (it's the same angular size as the moon) and most of the brightness seen in the direction of the sun is from small deflection rayleigh scattering
- How much lux does the Sun emit? - Physics Stack Exchange
I want to know how much lux the sun emits on a bright day - I don't mean when one stares directly at the sun, but rather when one walks casually outside when the sun is shinning brightly Now the
- Nuclear fission in the Sun - Physics Stack Exchange
The Sun's energy comes primarily from fusion of light elements in its core It is estimated that a very small fraction of mass of the Sun (~$10^{-12}$ times the abundance of hydrogen) is uranium (b
- What is actually meant by sun set and sun rise times, when taking . . .
If this is the case, then when we read things like what time sun sets and rises on websites, books, calendars, other official times, et al… does that mean when we see for example ‘sun set at 18:35’ is the time denoting the actual sun set taking into account of the mirage or what is visible to us
- How long until the sun cannot sustain human life on earth?
The sun will last, at its current brightness for 9 billion more years How long until the sun gets burned down to the point where it cannot sustain life on Earth anymore? Updated: I am more concer
- How come the Suns gravity can hold distant planets in orbit, but . . .
First, we should speak of acceleration rather than force, because like I said earlier all objects at a given distance from the Sun experience different forces but the same acceleration You ask "how come the Sun is strong enough to keep the distant planets in orbit but I don't fall into it?"
- How do protons fuse in the sun? - Physics Stack Exchange
I know that Nucelar fusion in the sun requires quantum tunneling to occur, as otherwise the Sun's core wouldn't be hot enough to overcome the Fusion barrier However while the 2nd and further stage
