Surface temperature of Sun is

Assume that a planet radiates heat at a rate proportional to the fourth power of its surface temperature T and that the temperature of the planet is such that this loss is exactly compensated by the heat gained from the sun. Show that other things remaining the same, a planet's surface temperature will vary inversely as the square root of its distance from the sun.

Ulraviolet radiation from sun causes a reaction that produces:

The amount of thermal radiation energy emitted from the surface of a body is found to be proportional to the ........ power of the absolute temperature of the body.

A planet radiates heat at a rate proportional to the fourth power of its surface temperature T. If such a steady temperature of the planet is due to an exactly equal amount of heat received from the sun then which of the following statement is true?

The intensity of salr radiation just outside the earth's atmosphere is measured to be 1.4 kW//m^2 . If the radius of the sun 7xx10^8m , while the earth-sun distance is 150xx10^6km , then find i. the intensity of salr radiation at the surface of the sun. ii. the temperature at the surface of the sun assuming it to be a black body, iii. the most probable wavelength in solar radiation.
