Consider two stars with the same surface area, but one has a temperature 3 times higher. The more luminous star radiates _()_(_())_(_()) times more energy compared to the other.
Added by Michele G.
Step 1
The luminosity (L) of a star is given by the Stefan-Boltzmann Law, which states that \( L = A \sigma T^4 \), where \( A \) is the surface area, \( \sigma \) is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, and \( T \) is the temperature of the star. Show more…

Two stars appear to have the same brightness, but one star is 3 times more distant than the other. How much more luminous is the more distant star?
What is the luminosity of a star having three times the radius of the Sun and a surface temperature of $10,000 \mathrm{K} ?$
