How would astronomers know if the theory of hydrostatic equilibrium inside the sun was not correct?

If the theory of hydrostatic equilibrium as regards the sun was not correct, then the sun would either collapse or would explode outward. Instead, the sun burns brightly in the sky just as it has done for billions of years. But perhaps a bit more review might help make things a bit clearer. The sun has massive gravity. This gravity would like to pull everything into a tiny ball. But there are countless nuclear fusion reactions occurring each second, and this generates a massive amount of thermal energy. This thermal energy wants to blow the sun apart as it acts in a direction opposite gravity. The sun's gravity is "balanced" by the thermal energy being generated. And the two are working together to determine the size of the sun and its operating (equilibrium) temperature. Keep in mind that the sun is in the middle of its life, so it will continue to do what it is doing for billions of years more.


Sleeping Beauty is also known by other what two names?

An older version of the story is called 'Sun, Moon and Talia', Talia being her name in that case. The Brothers Grimm named her Briar Rose, while Tchaikovsky called her Aurora (translating the name of one of her daughters, from the second part of the story).


Does energy from the sun reach earth by convection?

Simply put, there are 3 heat transmission phenomenons : convection, conduction and radiation. The first two are highly dependent of the nature of the material inbetween the two objects, which in this case is nothing at all. Waves, however, travel accross space and allow heat transmission by radiation.
