Question

problem 14. if i were to view the sun from a distance 3 times as large as the distance of the earth (that is, from a distance of 3 aus), it would look 9 times dimmer. o true o false

Explanation:

The apparent brightness of an object like the Sun follows the inverse - square law. The intensity of light (brightness) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. If the distance from the Sun is 3 times the Earth - Sun distance (3 AU), the brightness will be $\frac{1}{3^{2}}=\frac{1}{9}$ of the brightness as seen from Earth, meaning it will look 9 times dimmer.

Answer:

TRUE
