The Sun has a mass of 2 x 1030 kg and a luminosity of 4 x 1026 W. If we assume that the Sun is comprised entirely of hydrogen nuclei (with a mass of 1.6725 x 10-27 kg) and all of these nuclei are fused into helium nuclei via the "p-p chain", how long (in years) will it take the Sun to fuse all of its hydrogen into helium? 100 million years 1 billion years 7 billion years 100 billion...

1) Assuming that 10 eV could be released by every atom in the Sun through chemical reactions, (a) estimate how long the Sun could shine at its current rate (L=3.84 × 1026 Watts) through chemical processes alone. For simplicity, assume that the Sun is composed entirely of hydrogen (The mass of the Sun is ~1.989 x 1030 kg) (b) How does this timescale compare to the lifetime of the Sun? What can you conclude from this comparison?

Assuming the Sun radiates as a blackbody at a temperature of 5800 K, calculate the expected surface temperature of the Earth, assuming that the Earth also acts as a perfect blackbody. Assume the Earth absorbs an amount of energy proportional to its cross-sectional area, but radiates as a spherical blackbody. If the Earth is in thermal equilibrium with outer space, then the energy received (mostly at visible wavelengths) must equal the amount of energy re- radiated (mostly) in the infrared....
