Calculate the surface temperature

Reference no: EM131353825

The solar constant is the incident energy per unit of time on a unit area of a surface placed at right angles to a sunbeam just outside the earth's atmosphere.

The value of the solar constant is 1.37kW/m². The area of a sphere with radius 93,000,000 miles is 2.79 X 10²³m², and the surface area of the sun is 6.09 x 10¹⁸ m².

Assuming that the sun is a blackbody, calculate its surface temperature.
