If a star with a radius of 600000km has a surface temperature of 6000K, calculate its luminosity

Use the formula Luminosity = (Surface temperature)^4Surface area Stefan's constantCalculate surface area with 4piradius^2Area=4.5210^18therefore luminosity= 4.5210^18 * (6000)^4 * 5.6710^-8luminosity = 3.3210^26 Watts
