... We know this since one solar mass stars should last on the main sequence (see §III.C.) for 10 billion years and the Sun is currently 5 billion years old. As such, we have 5 billion more years before the Sun becomes a red giant, at which such time, it will “swallow” the most of the inner planets of t ...

It takes only a brief scrutiny of the equations describing the structure and dynamical evolution of the Sun (it is not quite so brief to derive them) and the equations governing the low-amplitude seismic modes of oscillation to appreciate what broadly can, at least in principle, be reliably inferred ...

... ½… The mass of the neutrons should be of the same order as the electron mass and in any event not larger than 0.01 proton masses. The continuous beta spectrum would then be explained by the assumption that in beta decay a neutron is emitted in addition to the electron such that the sum of the energi ...

Sun: The Nearest Star
... It contains approximately 98% of the total solar system mass. It is a G2 type star. Its interior could hold over 1.3 million Earths. The Sun's outer visible layer is called the photosphere and has a temperature of 6,000°C (11,000°F). The core has a temperature (15,000,000° C; 27,000,000° F) and pres ...
