The diameters of the circles that make up the solar images in Dean's photo are about 1/100 the distance to the openings in the leaves that cast the spots. That means 100 circles placed end to end would extend from each spot to the opening that casts the spot. How does this tell you how many Suns would fit between the tree and the Sun's 150,000,000-kilometer distance from Earth?

Description: Imagine you are comparing the five electric hot plates (A – E) of different sizes and temperatures. The temperature of each hot plate is indicated by a shade of gray such that the lighter the shade of gray, the higher the temperature of the hot plate. D B E A A. Ranking instructions: Rank the surface area (from largest to smallest) of the hotplates. Ranking Order: Largest 1 3 4 5 Smallest Or, all the hotplates have the same surface area. (indicate with a check mark) Carefully explain your reasoning for ranking this way: B. Ranking instructions: Rank the temperature (from hottest to coldest) of the hotplates. Ranking Order: Hottest 1 2. 3 4 5 Coldest Or, all the hotplates have the same temperature (indicate with a check mark) Carefully explain your reasoning for ranking this way:
Why does nuclear fusion in the sun occur only near the center?
If the temperature at the centre of the sun is 15,000,000 K and the temperature of the photosphere is 5,800 K, what is the ratio of the temperature at the centre of the Sun compared to the photosphere? Express your final answer in the fully factorised form x : 1, where x is a number that you should determine to an appropriate number of significant figures and write it using scientific notation.
1) What is thermal equilibrium? Is the Sun in thermal equilibrium? How do we know this? 2) In order to maintain thermal equilibrium, how much energy must the Sun generate every second?
How long does it take light from the sun 93 million miles away to the earth
Use Wien's Law to calculate the peak wavelength of light coming from the Sun. Assume T=5800 K for the surface temperature of the Sun. Wein's displacement law says that the blackbody temperature and peak wavelength multiplied together give a constant of 0.29 cm-K. (K is degrees Kelvin).
Sunspots appear dark because they are A) hotter than the rest of the Sun's surface. B) more magnetic than the rest of the Sun's surface. C) cooler than the rest of the Sun's surface. D) None of the above
Using this equation Wein's Law: What is the wavelength of maximum intensity and the total energy emitted by a celestial object at absolute zero?
Earth tugs the Sun around as it orbits, but it affects the radial velocity of the sun by only 0.09m/s. How large a shift in wavelength does this cause in the Sun's spectrum at 575 nm?
How does E = mC2 apply to understanding how the Sun is powered?
Explain why the presence of spectral lines of a given element in the solar spectrum tells you that element is present in the sun, but the absence of the lines would not necessarily mean the element is absent from the sun.
