I'm working on trying to determine a formula that can model the density of the sun.
density:
[tex]\rho[/tex] = m/v
the volume of a three dimensional figure is b*h
therefore: v of cylinder = Area of a circle * h (delta r = h)
v=[tex]\pi[/tex]R2[tex]\Delta[/tex]r
therefore: [tex]\rho[/tex] = ([tex]\Delta[/tex]m)/([tex]\pi[/tex]R2[tex]\Delta[/tex]r)
If this equation is wrong please comment.
Well in order for me to model this I need to figure out the radius of the sun; I know I can easily search for the value on the internet, but how is it actually determined?
