The corona is much hotter than the photosphere, yet we have to wait for

a total solar eclipse to see the corona. Why is that?

What is the density of the Sun?

The average density of the Sun is about 1.41 grams per cubic centimeter. This is much higher than the average density of the Earth because the Sun is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium gases under extreme pressure.


Is the average density of the sun near that of iron?

No. The average density of the Sun (or any object, for that matter) is found by dividing its mass by its volume. When we do this, we find that the Sun's density is 1.41 grams per cubic centimeter (only 41% denser than water). Iron has a density of 7.874 grams per cubic centimeter. So iron is over five times denser than the Sun. It's important to understand, however, that 1.41 grams per cubic centimeter is only the AVERAGE density of the Sun. Its core is much denser than that, while its outer layers are much less dense.


What is unsual about the sun compared tho many other stars?

Nothing, really. The Sun is average in size, temperature, and density. Its an all around average star.


How dense is the white dwarf to your sun?

A white dwarf is much denser than the Sun. White dwarfs have a typical density around 1 million times greater than the density of the Sun, resulting in a mass similar to the Sun's but packed into a much smaller volume.


How dense is the sun?

The average density of the Sun is about 1.41 grams per cubic centimeter. This makes it more than 12 times denser than Earth. The core of the Sun is much denser, with densities reaching 150 grams per cubic centimeter.


Is the sun more dense than air?

It depends on what part of the sun you sample. On average, yes. The average density of the sun is about 1.4 times the density of water, more than 1,000 times denser than air. The outermost part of the sun is far lass dense than air while the core is far denser than even the densest substances on Earth.


The Moon's average density is about the same as the density of which of the Earth's layers?

The moon's average density is about the same as the density of mantle of the Earth.


What is the Average density of a Star?

The average density of a star can vary depending on its mass and size. For example, the Sun has an average density of about 1.4 grams per cubic centimeter. However, more massive stars can have much higher densities, while less massive stars can have lower densities.


What is the density of betelguese?

The density of Betelgeuse is extremely low: 1,119.10 ex.-8 from the density of the sun.


How does the density of the sun compare to the density of the earth?

Earth's density: 5.515 g/cm^3 Sun's density: 1.408 g/cm^3


How does average density affect bouyancy?

The average density of an object determines its buoyancy. If the average density of an object is less than the density of the fluid it is in, it will float. If the average density is greater, it will sink. Buoyancy relies on the difference in densities between the object and the fluid.


What in the average density of Pluto?

The average density of Pluto is 1,830 cubic meters.
