The surface temperature of the star Rigel is about 15000celiusThe sun has a temperature of about 6000celius Why does the sun appear so much brighter?

The brightness of a star depends not just on its surface temperature, but also on its size and distance from Earth. While Rigel is hotter than the Sun, it is also a much larger and more luminous star. Therefore, even though the Sun is cooler than Rigel, it appears brighter to us because it is much closer and has a larger luminosity due to its size.


Why is the sun appear brighter than alpha centauri b?

Our Sun appears brighter than Alpha Centauri B because of its proximity to our point of view. We are much closer to our Sun then any other star which means that our Sun will be much brighter then everything else in the sky.


How much energy is the required to raise the temperature of 10g of water from 10c to 60c?

The answer is actually partially dependent on the starting temperature of the water (heat capacity is a function of temperature). You will still be close enough for most purposes if you assume that it takes 1 calorie to heat 1 gram of water 1 °C. With this assumption it takes 1000 calories to heat 1 kg of water °C and 5000 calories to heat 1 kg of water 5 °C. 5000 cal = 5 kilocalories = 20929 joules.


What happens to stars temperature as it expand?

As a star expands, its temperature decreases. This is because the energy in the star becomes more spread out as the star grows in size, leading to a decrease in temperature. Although the surface of the star can appear brighter as it expands, the overall temperature of the star decreases.


What does rigel have brighter then Sirius?

I'm not sure exactly what detail you want, but here's a start. Rigel is a triple star system. The main star of the three is a very luminous star. It is a blue supergiant star.
