Stars emit radiation whose spectrum is very similar to that of a blackbody. Imagine two stars identical in size, each of which is at the same distance from us. One of the stars appears reddish in color, while the other one looks distinctly bluish. Based on this information, what can you say about the relative temperatures of the two stars? Which is the hotter?

A. The relative temperature of a star that is red in color is higher than that of a star that is blue in color.
B. The relative temperature of a star that is red in color is lower than that of a star that is blue in color. C. The appearance of a star is independent of its relative temperature; therefore, more information is needed to compare the stars.
D. .There is no difference. Both stars are approximately the same temperature.

Estimate the kinetic energy of mars with respect to the sun as the sum of two terms, that due to its daily rotation about its axis, and that due to its yearly revolution about the sun. (assume mars is a uniform sphere with mass = 6.4×10 to the power of 23 kg, radius = 3.4×10 to the power of 6 m, rotation period = 24.7 hours, orbital period = 686 days and is 2.3×10 to the power of 8 km from the sun.)
