How do we know the temperature of the Sun? #shorts #science #physics

In 1900, physicist Max Planck was intrigued by a simple question: why do heated objects glow? For centuries, blacksmiths knew that objects change color when heated. However, when physicists tried to calculate this effect, they encountered a problem. Newton claimed that atoms vibrate faster when heated. According to Maxwell, oscillating charges emit electromagnetic radiation in the form of light. At low frequencies, the combined model worked. But as the frequency increased, the energy of light te

nded towards infinity, which was absurd. Max Planck then proposed that energy is emitted in discrete packets - quanta. Then he was able to calculate the energy of heated bodies. The hotter an object, the higher the frequency of its radiation. Therefore, we know the precise temperature of the Sun (6000 ºC).
