Question
Chapter 11, Problem 1QAP
To determine
Whether the statement is true or false.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1QAP
The statement is false.
Explanation of Solution
Sun is middle-aged, main sequence star of G2 spectral type. The surface temperature of the Sun is 5800 K. The structure of Sun is defined by hydrostatic equilibrium and energy balance.
Hydrostatic equilibrium is the balance of inward force of gravity by the outward force due to pressure of
Energy balance is the balance between energy production and loss. The sun emits huge amount of energy per second nearly equal to
Conclusion:
Thus, the statement is false.
