Question

The Sun's surface temperature is closest to _____.

Answer 1

Answer:

6000 K

Explanation:

The Sun's surface temperature is about 6000 K. It was estimated by obtaining its spectrum. The peak wavelength obtained from the spectrum indicates the surface temperature. The Wein's Displacement Law states that the surface temperature is inversely proportional to the wavelength.

$T_{sun}=6000 K$

Answer 2

The answer is b because the sun's surface temperature is 5,778 K.
