The unit for power is Watts. the newton is a unit for force. joules for energy and meters for distance
Psychophysics is the scientific study
28 times stronger than the force of gravity on the surface of the Earth.
Answer:
As b ∝ (L/r²) and
the distance of the sun from the earth is 0.00001581 light years
and
the distance of the Sirius from the earth is 8.6 light years
hence,
the Sun appear brighter in the sky
Explanation:
The brightness (b) is directly proportional to the Luminosity of the star (L) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the star and the observer (r).
thus, mathematically,
b ∝ (L/r²)
now,
given
L for sirius is 23 times more than the sun i.e 23L
now,
the distance of the sun from the earth is 0.00001581 light years
and
the distance of the Sirius from the earth is 8.6 light years
thus,
using the the relation between conclude that the value of brightness for the Sirius comes very very low as compared to the value for brightness for the Sun.
hence, the sun appears brighter
