If a sunspot has a temperature of 4,270 K and the average solar photosphere has a temperature of 5,780 K, how many times more energy is emitted in 1 second from a square meter of the photosphere compared to a square meter of the sunspot? (Hint: Use the Stefan-Boltzmann law,
E = σT4 (J/s/m2)
where E is the energy, σ is a proportionality constant equal to 5.67 ✕ 10−8 J/s/m2/K4, and T is the temperature in kelvins.)

1 Solar constant, Sun, and the 10 pc distance!
The luminosity of Sun is + 4- 1026 W - 4- 1033ergs-1, The Sun is located at a distance of
m from the Earth. The Earth receives a radiant flux (above its atmosphere) of F = 1365W m- 2, also known as
the solar constant. What would have been the Solar contact if the Sun was at a distance of 10 pc ?
