Stefan-Boltzmann Law
Quick fact
The Sun's surface temperature is about 5,500°C, and it radiates an enormous 63 million watts per square meter! If your oven could reach that temperature, it would vaporize everything inside.
Why this is interesting
Have you ever wondered why a hot stove glows red? Or why the Sun feels warm on your skin? The answer lies in a simple but powerful law that connects temperature to energy emitted.
