Answer:
Explanation:
The apparent brightness follows an inverse square law, therefore we can write:
where I is the apparent brightness and r is the distance from the Sun.
We can also rewrite the law as
(1)
where in this problem, we have:
apparent brightness at a distance
, where
million km
We want to estimate the apparent brightness at , where
is ten times
, so
Re-arranging eq.(1), we find :
