Radius of sun given total solar irradiance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Radius of the Sun = (((Mean Distance between Sun and Planet^2)*Total Solar Irradiance)/([Stefan-BoltZ]*(Effective Surface Temperature^4)))^0.5
r = (((L^2)*G_s)/([Stefan-BoltZ]*(T_s^4)))^0.5
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables

Constants Used

[Stefan-BoltZ] - Stefan-Boltzmann Constant Value Taken As 5.670367E-8

Variables Used

Radius of the Sun - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of the sun is the radius of the sun/star.
Mean Distance between Sun and Planet - (Measured in Meter) - Mean distance between sun and planet is the mean distance between sun/star and earth/planet.
Total Solar Irradiance - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter) - Total solar irradiance or solar constant is the solar energy reaching the earth’s/planet's atmosphere.
Effective Surface Temperature - (Measured in Kelvin) - Effective surface temperature is the surface temperature of the sun/star.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mean Distance between Sun and Planet: 150000000000 Meter --> 150000000000 Meter No Conversion Required
Total Solar Irradiance: 1373 Watt per Square Meter --> 1373 Watt per Square Meter No Conversion Required
Effective Surface Temperature: 5780 Kelvin --> 5780 Kelvin No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

r = (((L^2)*G_s)/([Stefan-BoltZ]*(T_s^4)))^0.5 --> (((150000000000^2)*1373)/([Stefan-BoltZ]*(5780^4)))^0.5

Evaluating ... ...

r = 698659013.999277

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

698659013.999277 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

698659013.999277 ≈ 7E+8 Meter <-- Radius of the Sun
