If the rate of reaction in the sun were to increase, the surface temperature would increase. If the temperature of the surface of the sun were to increase by 300 K, estimate the percentage increase in the core nuclear fusion rate. How much would the surface radiative flux increase (Watts/m?)?

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

The rate of nuclear fusion reactions in the core of the Sun is primarily determined by the temperatu... View the full answer
