The Solar Photosphere

The sun has a radius R = 7 × 105 km, and is situated about rE = 1.5 × 108 km from the earth. Since the mass of the sun is M= 2 × 1033 g the average density can be determined as 1.4 gcm-3. However, the density changes from 70 gem-3 at the solar centre, where the temperature is 14 × 106 °K, to 10-7 gem-3 in the photosphere.
