By measuring the spectrum of wavelengths of light from our sun, we know that its surface temperature is 5760 K . By measuring the rate at which we receive its energy on earth, we know that it is radiating a total of 3.93×1026 J/s and behaves nearly like an ideal blackbody. Use this information to calculate the diameter of our sun.
