Answer:

2950 m

Explanation:

The radius to which the sun must be compressed to become a black hole is equal to the Schwarzschild radius, defined as:

$R=\frac{2GM}{c^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the of the sun

c is the speed of light

The mass of the sun is

$M=1.99\cdot 10^{30}kg$

So, if we substitute the values of the other constants inside the formula, we find the value of the Schwarzschild radius for the sun:

$R=\frac{2(6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2})(1.99\cdot 10^{30} kg)}{(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)^2}=2950 m$

The moon has a diameter of 3.48 x 106 m and is a distance of 3.85 x 108 m from the earth. The sun has a diameter of 1.39 x 109 m

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

0.00903 rad

0.00926 rad

6.268\times 10^{-6}

Explanation:

s = Diameter of the object

r = Distance between the Earth and the object

Angle subtended is given by

$\theta=\frac{s}{r}$

For the Moon

$\theta_m=\dfrac{3.48\times 10^6}{3.85\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \theta_m=0.00903\ rad$

The angle subtended by the Moon is 0.00903 rad

For the Sun

$\theta_s=\dfrac{1.39\times 10^9}{1.5\times 10^{11}}\\\Rightarrow \theta_s=0.00926\ rad$

The angle subtended by the Sun is 0.00926 rad

Area ratio is given by

$\frac{A_m}{A_s}=\dfrac{\pi r_m^2}{\pi r_s^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{A_m}{A_s}=\dfrac{d_m^2}{d_s^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{A_m}{A_s}=\dfrac{(3.48\times 10^{6})^2}{(1.39\times 10^9)^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{A_m}{A_s}=6.268\times 10^{-6}$

The area ratio is $6.268\times 10^{-6}$
