How much lux does the Sun emit? - Physics Stack Exchange When you look 'at the world' (i e to the horizon) on a clear day, unlesss the sun is at a very low angle, the surface of your eye is not illuminated directly by the sun, only reflected sunlight from the atmosphere, ground and objects The 32,000-100,000 lux figure is referring to a horizontal surface illuminated directly by the sun
What is the simplest way to prove that Earth orbits the Sun? If we assume the Sun orbits the Earth, the math says that the Sun should be much less massive than the Earth If we assume the Earth orbits the Sun, the opposite is true Either way we can get an estimate of the mass of the Sun We know from other tests that the Sun is more massive than the Earth, so therefore the Earth orbits the Sun
What would happen if Jupiter collided with the Sun? However, the Sun will accrete $\sim 10^{42}\ \mathrm{kg\ m^2\ s^{-1}}$ of angular momentum, which is comparable to its current angular momentum The accretion of Jupiter in this way is therefore sufficient to increase the angular momentum of the Sun by a significant amount In the long term this will have a drastic effect on the magnetic
sun - Nuclear fusion - Hydrogen isotopes - Physics Stack Exchange The main fusion reaction in the sun is the proton-proton chain reaction, which takes six protons and produces two protons, one alpha particle, two anti-electrons, and two electron neutrinos The deuterium nucleus is only barely bound and can be destroyed — dissociated into a proton and neutron — by absorbing a gamma ray with energy more
How is distance between sun and earth calculated? Another way of calculating the earth - sun distance is to look at the centrifugal and the gravitational force This solution assumes that one already knows the mass of the sun, but thats a different problem ;-)
How much iron would I have to shoot into the Sun to blow it up? The sun's temperature at the surface is ~5778 Kelvin which is much higher than the boiling point of Fe, Ni, or any alloy of the Fe-Ni The atoms would disperse and would become lost in the sea of H and He nuclei, and wouldn't conceivably come anywhere near the core in one piece Literally nothing about the sun would change in this scenario
astronomy - How big a coincidence is the Sun and Moon having almost . . . Note that every moon with diameter i will block the sun in 201-i different orbits The smallest moon will block the sun in only one orbit, LEO The probability of a moon 2000 miles in diameter is thus $\frac{1}{200^2}$ that of the smallest moon Then the probability that a moon will block the sun is:
What is actually meant by sun set and sun rise times, when taking . . . The Sun has actually set risen and we see it due to the way light is bent across the atmosphere Apparently due to coincidence of the size and distance of the sun, its exactly the same size - so if we see 50% of the sun, the sun is 50% below the horizon So, I understand all this, so here is my question :
How hot can metal get in sunlight? - Physics Stack Exchange If the building is located in Hammerfest, Norway the metal might get warm to the touch If it's on the sun-facing side in Las Vegas you may find it gets hot enough to cause burns A definitive answer is not possible If people can touch it easily the temperature is a concern If it's out of reach, don't worry about it The iron isn't going to melt
Is it possible to land on sun? - Physics Stack Exchange The sun is gaseous all the way to the core Nothing we know of could be solid or liquid in the interior of the sun So my final answer is going to be that I don't know of any hard theoretical limit to how high a melting temperature can be But nothing we know of or even suspect is possible can be solid at the surface of the sun or in its interior
