Consider that the stars in the Main Sequence follow the luminosity relation L = cM4 including the Sun, where c is a constant. Calculate the value of c in SI units. If the sun had been born with 10% more of mass, how much more luminous would it be?
Given,
The luminosity of the Sun
Mass of the Sun
Using above relation
If the sun had been born with 10% more mass then the mass of the sun
So, the new luminosity
% change in luminosity
So the sun would be 46.41% more luminous then it is now.
