The surface of the sun is 5850k and the surface temperature of Sirius is 9950K. Assuming both have the same emissivity, the radiative heat current emitted from sirius is greater than that of the sun by what factor?

Sirius B is a white star that has a surface temperature (in kelvins) that is four times that of our sun. Sirius B radiates only 0.040 times the power radiated by the sun. Our sun has a radius of 6.96 108 m. Assuming that Sirius B has the same emissivity as the sun, find the radius of Sirius B. RsB =
The Sun is a slightly variable star. What if the surface temperature of the Sun were to increase from 6 000 K to 6 100 K, what would be the increase in total power radiated assuming no other changes such as radius or emissivity? O 14% 6.8% O 1.6% 3.4%
The surface temperature of the sun is about 5800 K. The radii of the earth and the sun are 6.40x106 m and 6.95x108 m, respectively. The earth is 1.49x1011 m from the sun. Calculate the blackbody temperature of the earth assuming the earth is in steady state with the power absorbed versus power emitted.
At our distance from the Sun, the intensity of solar radiation is 1370 W/m2. The temperature of the Earth is affected by the greenhouse effect of the atmosphere. This phenomenon describes the ef- fect of absorption of infrared light emitted by the surface so as to make the surface temperature of the Earth higher than if it were airless. For comparison, consider a spherical object of radius r with no atmosphere at the same distance from the Sun as the...
Consider potential radiative energy balance at the surface of the Earth, with the Sun directly overhead in the sky. Assume that the incident solar radiative flux is reduced passing through the atmosphere to 0.85 times the TOA value, and that 20% of this is reflected at the ground. Calculate the temperature that the surface (radiating as a blackbody) would need to be at in order to be in instantaneous radiative energy balance with the solar radiation. What would you say...
Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, is a main-sequence star, as is the Sun, but Sirius has a luminosity about 27 times that of the Sun and a mass about 3 times that of the Sun. Use this information to determine which star will live longer, and by what factor, approximately.
The surface of the Sun has a temperature of 5500 ∘C. Treat the sun as a perfect blackbody with an emissivity of 1.0 and a radius of 7.0*10^8 m. Given; the temperature of space is 3.0K and the power that it takes for the sun to radiate into space is 3.9 * 10^26 W. The solar constant is the number of watts of sunlight power falling on a square meter of the Earth's upper atmosphere. Calculate the solar constant given...
The Sun is about 10.0 billion times brighter than the next brightest star, Sirius (as seen from Earth). How far would we have to be from the Sun for the Sun to be as bright as Sirius? We would have to be ___× 10 5th AU or _____light-years away from the Sun.
The Sun is 1 AU from the earth and has a surface temperature of ~5800K. a) what is the heat flux from the surface of the sun? What is the heat flux from the sun that arrives to the earth?
The Sun shines with a blackbody temperature of 5780 K and a total power output of 3.8 x 1026 w. The Sun has been doing this for 4.5 x 10 yr, during which time the surface temperature has increased by a few percent and the luminosity by 20%, ie. they have remained roughly constant. (a) (5 marks) Use the heat-flow formula for entropy change to calculate the total entropy in all the sunlight the Sun has ever emitted. (b) (3...
