Our sun, currently a yellow dwarf, will eventually evolve to a red giant star and then to a white dwarf star as shown in the figure. Assume that the sun radiates like a blackbody. Calculate the power radiated by the YELLOW DWARF sun if its surface temperature is 5778 K.
Satellites designed to observe the radiation from cold (3 K) dark space have sensors that are shaded from the Sun, Earth, and Moon and that are cooled to very low temperatures. Why must the sensors be at low temperature?
At night, the surface of the earth cools, mostly by radiation. The surface radiates energy upward; the much cooler sky above radiates much less. Patches of ground under trees can stay warmer, which is why, if you live somewhere that has cold, clear nights, you may have noticed some mornings when there is frost on open patches of ground but not under trees. Why does being under a tree keep the ground warmer?
