... A star has mass 2.5 Msun = 5.0 x 1030 kg, radius 2.0 Rsun = 1.4 x 109 m, and luminosity 40 Lsun = 1.6 x 1028 W. The star is initially composed of 100% H and converts all of it to He, each chain of 4H He releasing an amount of energy E = 4.3 x 10-12 J. Calculate: a) the total number of H nuclei (p ...

... Polaris is just about the same spectral type (G) (and thus surface temperature) as our Sun, but it is 10,000 times brighter than our Sun. This must be caused by Polaris having a larger radius than the Sun. Polaris must be 100 times larger than the Sun because R2 = 1002 = 10,000 produces a luminosity ...
