Noise in temperature of Sun compared to Earth is more than_________K.
- a.1000
- b.500
- c.5000
- d.1,00,000
Answer: (C) 5000
The Sun's visible surface (photosphere) is at about 5,800 K while Earth's surface averages about 288 K, so the Sun is hotter by more than 5000 kelvin. 1000 K and 500 K understate the gap, and 1,00,000 K is far above the surface temperature.
