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
Why CAN we see the new moon at night? - Physics Stack Exchange If the sun's glare weren't so bright during the day, you could see the moon with this slight crescent all day long But you can't However, at dusk, when the sun's glare fades over the western horizon, the slim crescent appears! (it doesn't appear because it comes up above the horizon, but only because the sun's brightness fades into the night)
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
Black and white matters. But why and how? - Physics Stack Exchange The visible has about half of the energy coming from the sun on the surface, as seen in the link So a metal door in the sun will transfer the heat of the visible spectrum to the interior if painted black, will reflect it back and keep the interior cooler if painted white
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?
Can Jupiter be ignited? - Physics Stack Exchange Our solar system itself contains two candidate "Earths" One is Jupiter's moon Europa and another is Saturn's moon Titan Both of them have the problem of having at low temperature as Sun's heat ca
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
Why does a rainbow only form with a 42° angle? [duplicate] Light rays enter a raindrop from one direction (typically a straight line from the sun), reflect off the back of the raindrop, and fan out as they leave the raindrop The light leaving the rainbow is spread over a wide angle, with a maximum intensity at the angles 40 89–42° The most intense effect can be observed at only 42°
