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
