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
What is the simplest way to prove that Earth orbits the Sun? Assume you're talking to someone ignorant of the basic facts of astronomy How would you prove to them that Earth orbits the Sun? Similarly, how would you prove to them that the Moon orbits Earth?
What would happen if Jupiter collided with the Sun? This question is inspired by a similar one asked on Quora Let's say a wizard magicked Jupiter into the Sun, with or without high velocity What happens? The Quora question has two completely oppo
What is the Metric of the Gravitational Field of the Sun? What metric determines the "geometry" of the gravitational field generated by the mass of the sun? Is there a general metric that incorporates arbitrary mass and devolves into the Schwarzchild metric for black holes that conforms with the Einstein Field Equations?
How much iron would I have to shoot into the Sun to blow it up? So rest assured that our sun will not go supernova (though it will go through a red giant phase and swallow earth in about 5 billion years) The boiling point of iron is about 3000 K (5000 F) while the surface temperature of the sun is about 5500 K (10,000 F), so this comet-of-iron would evaporate en route to the sun's surface
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
Calculating the amount of heat energy radiated by sun The equation for the thermal energy per second (that is Power) radiated by the sun is P = 4π 2σ 4 P = 4 π 2 σ 4 So if you put the data in you should find P = 3 95 ×1026 P = 3 95 × 10 26 W To find the amount of energy emitted in one minute you must multiply by 60, so you get E = 2 37 ×1028 E = 2 37 × 10 28 J
How hot can metal get in sunlight? - Physics Stack Exchange I quite liked this one [archived] describing measurements on cars It shows that things left in the sun can get significantly hotter than the surrounding air (although there are some issues with the method used, the conclusions are mostly valid), One final note - how hot things are is not the same as how hot they seem to be
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
