Doppler shifted lines. by examining spectrographs of the sun, we can determine, via use of dopper shift, and examining the color of the sun, i.e. yellow, this correlates on a scale of light/heat as roughly 6000 on the Kelvin Scale. if the Sun were blue, we would be able to deduce that the sun was roughly 7500 K. For further info, look up the Kelvin Scale.

How measure the sun temperature?
Use a spectrometer to measure the wavelength of the light. There is a direct, but inverse correlation of the wavelength to the temperature.
How do scientists measure the temperature of the sun?
They dont really measure the tamperature of the sun. They have sent things to get as close as they can and to send back the temperature. Then the scientists take how far it was and the temperature and go up about 10 to 20 degrees every time they move it closer. So they dont really know the suns temperature, Its all a close guess.A2. One may determine the properties of an object without actually touching it. We may look at certain spectral lines coming from the Sun, and in lab experiments, or by calculation, know at what temperature that emission would occur.
Suppose you set a glass of water in direct sunlight for 2 hours and measure its temperature every 10 minutes what would be the dependent variable?
the sun
What is the temperature of an object?
The temperature of an object is a measure of the thermodynamic energy of the object.
What is the function of themometer?
To measure temperature
How measure the sun temperature?

How do you measure the temperature of the sun?
The surface of the sun radiates energy in nearly the same manner as a black body. That is to say, the fraction of light that is emitted at each wavelength is a function of the temperature alone. As a result, we can measure the spectrum of the Sun, and then fit it with a blackbody spectrum to derive the temperature.
Is a radiation pyrometer able to measure the temperature of sun?
No. The temperature of the sun cannot be measured by pyrometer. It is measured by a special device called Bolometer.
What is the distance from earth to the sun in Celsius?
Celsius is a measure of temperature, not distance.
Must temperature be measured in the shade?
The answer depends on why you want to measure the temperature and what the object is. I cannot see any way of measuring the temperature of the surface of the sun in the shade!
Why is the temperature in space -270 degrees but yet there is a sun in your solar system?
While the sun is hot, space itself is empty and thus it is not warmed by the sun. Thus if you measure the temperature in space in a place where sunlight does not fall on your thermomiter it will be very very cold.
Which is the thermometer used to measure the temperature of the sun?
optical pyrometerA special type of technique is used to measure very high temperatures such as the Sun. A Bolometer is the instrument used to measure the Suns temperature. The Bolometer measures in colors, and the Sun emits temperatures in colors. This technique is based on a law called Wien's Law.
How do they measure the temperature of the sun?
Solar Flares, Solar Winds, the water level attracts heat. Satalite temperazation.
Is the thermometer reading the temperature of the vacuum at the Moon's surface?
No. The thermometer measures the temperature of mass or material. Concerning the moon, a thermometer could measure the temperature of dust or rock on the surface. If it were not in contact with the surface, and the sun shone on it, the thermometer would read the temperature to which the sun heated it. If it were shielded from the sun, then the thermometer would read the temperature of space ... about 3 K, or darn near absolute zero.
When you measure an object's temperature you measure the?
Temperature.
How do scientist estimate the temperature of the sun?
We don't need to estimate it, we can measure it (at least the surface temperature) using the cavity radiation equation and experimental observation of the solar spectrum.
When you measure the temperature of an object you measure the?
Temperature xD
