How would the interior temperature of the Sun be different if the strong force that binds nuclei together were 10 times as strong?
The average density of the sun is 1. 4 g/cm3 What do you expect the density to be at 0.25 of Rsun? 2) The average density of the sun is 1.4 g/cm3. The following resource claims that the sun's core has a density of 150 g/cm3 and a radius of 25% of the sun's radius. Assume the core has a constant density and calculate it's mass. What fraction of the sun's mass is in the core according to that resource?
Why the sun does not get ripped apart by the outwards pressure of nuclear fusion?
