The heat arrives on earth ... and at the surface of your skin ... but it's just so weak when it gets here
that your nerves aren't sensitive enough to be aware of it.
Example with numbers:
The distance from the sun is 93 million miles. The nearest star outside the solar system is
4.4 light years away. Assume that its power output is the same as the sun's power output,
so that any difference in the intensity of their radiation is due only to the difference in their
distances, not in their properties as stars.
The ratio of their distances is (4.4 light years / 93 million miles) = 278,132 .
Intensity of radiation varies inversely with the square of the distance to the source.
The square of the ratio of the distances is 77,357,433,350 . (rounded)
That's how much stronger the sun's heat is on your skin, compared to the heat of the next nearest star.
Inverting this number, we find that the heat of nearest star on your skin is 0.000000000012927
as strong as the heat of the sun.
(about -109 dB)
And that's the nearest star we've been talking about.
What else can I help you with?
What is hotter planets or stars?
Stars are hotter than planets. Stars are massive balls of gas that produce heat and light through nuclear reactions in their cores, while planets do not produce their own heat and rely on the heat they receive from the star they orbit.
Explain why you can feel the heat from a grill?
heat raises
Is heat produced by nuclear fusion causes stars to glow true or false?
True. Heat produced by nuclear fusion in the core of stars causes them to shine brightly and emit light and heat into space.
What are the two major energies released from stars?
heat and light.
If you put your hand over a stove is that radiation?
No that is just a hand over the stove. If the stove element is turned on and you place your hand close to the element you will feel heat. This is heat radiation, the same as when you feel the heat from the sun, also heat radiation.
Why cant you feel heat from the stars?
Simply put, they are much to far away for us to feel their heat.
Why can't people feel the heat from the stars?
Because, they are in a different galaxy!! :LL
Are Stars cold and make light?
Stars make their own light, but they are not cold. Stars are extremely hot. We do not feel their heat because they are incredibly distant.
Why do we not feel the heat of the stars?
Because they are billions and billions and billions of miles away from us.
Do stars radiate heat energy?
Yes, stars radiate heat energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, which includes visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation. This is how stars produce light and heat that we can see and feel from Earth.
Why can't we feel the heat from the others stars?
The heat arrives on earth, it is just so weak when it gets here that our bodies can't sense it.
Why don't we get heat and light from the other stars than the sun?
We do get light from the other stars; that is why we can see them. We do not feel their heat or see very much light from them because they are millions of times farther away from us than the sun is.
Why don't the stars shine as bright as the sun?
The underlying point is actually incorrect, we feel (quite potently) the heat of the Sun and the Sun is a star like any other. However, as the question is likely talking about stars other than the sun, the heat actually does reach Earth, but because of the distance traveled, is a very minute amount of heat (only a few degrees above absolute freezing). This small amount of heat is eclipsed by the immense amount of heat that the Earth receives from the Sun and from internal radioactive heat generation in the Earth's core. As a result, humans cannot feel it.
Are the stars heat?
No. Stars are made primarily of hydrogen and helium. They produce enormous amounts of heat but are not made of heat.
Why you can feel the heat from a grill?
because it has heat and u feel heat
What is hotter planets or stars?
Stars are hotter than planets. Stars are massive balls of gas that produce heat and light through nuclear reactions in their cores, while planets do not produce their own heat and rely on the heat they receive from the star they orbit.
Can electromagnetic waves travel through empty space?
Yes. That's how you feel heat from the sun, see light from stars, and receive TV from the satellite.
