if it the sun was 10 times further away than it already is temperature would plummet to freezing levels, crops wouldn't be able to survive, water would freeze, we would have no produce to feed ourselves with. The incidence of rickets may icrease (severe curving of the bones) due to lack of vitamin D from the sun

Are stars cooler than the sun brighter or dimmer?
a sun is a star so it would be considered both dimmer .
Why does the moon appear sometimes as a crescent and other times as a full circle?
because their are phases were it would be full and some as a crescent
How bright would the sun appear to be to an observer on Earth if the Sun were four times farther from the Earth than it actually is?
The sun would be 4 times less bright than it is now. The brightness of the sun follows an inverse square law
How would the moon appear to an observer on earth if the moon did not rotate?
it would still appear to rotate
What color would a strawberry appear to be under a white light?
it would appear black because no red light strikes it
What does Saturn look like from far away?
From Earth, it looks a lot like a bright star. From further away, it would appear as a dimmer star, or would not be visible at all.
Why do stars appear so much dimmer than the sun?
The sun is a star, Sol to be precise. It is the star of our solar system. The other stars you see are thousands to millions of light-years (measure of distance, not time) away so they appear dimmer because they are so far away. If you lived in their solar system, Sol would appear dim in comparison.
From Britain which direction can you see the sun when it is highest in the sky?
it depends the season, if it is winter then the sun would appear to be further to the south and if it is summer then it would appear maybe dirrectly over head or further to the north
What would earth look like from Uranus?
Seen from Uranus the Earth would always be within 3 degrees or less of the Sun. The Sun would be dimmer than as seen from here, about 360 times dimmer, but still so bright that the Earth would most likely be unnoticed.
Describe relationship between the brightness and the distance of star from earth?
Due to the inverse square law, stars that are far away from Earth are generally dimmer than stars that are close to Earth. However, there are many exceptions, since stars can also appear brighter or dimmer depending on their luminosity.
Does Mars have a bright or dim sunlight?
Yes, the sunlight received by mars will be less than that received by the Earth, since Mars is further away from our sun. the sun will appear to be much smaller and less energy is received per unit of area. The light level will be dimmer, but you would still be able to see quite well.
Where does the dimmer wire go on a after market radio?
It would go to the dimmer that controls the brightness of the dash lights.

How absorption and scattering can affect beam of light?
How absorption and scattering can affect a beam of light is if the beam of light is farther away from an object, the light would be dimmer. But, if the beam of light was closer to the object, then the light would appear brighter.
How can absorption and scattering affect a beam of light?
How absorption and scattering can affect a beam of light is if the beam of light is farther away from an object, the light would be dimmer. But, if the beam of light was closer to the object, then the light would appear brighter.
Can you see Pluto from the sun?
Yes, but it will be much dimmer than it is from Earth. Pluto varies between about 30 to 50 times farther away from the Sun than the Earth is, which would make the Sun between 900 and 2500 times dimmer on Pluto.
Why do stars appear the way the do from Earth?
They appear that way because they are very far away. Their distances vary very much and their brightnesses vary very much also. If you see two equal stars, one of which is ten times further away, the closer one is 100 times brighter, which equates to 5 magnitudes. So if you could take a 1st magnitude star and move it ten times further away it would become a 6th magnitude star. Although all stars are moving, they are so far away that they do not appear to move. For the closer stars their movement can be measured by sensitive instruments.
