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.
Why are degrees used to measure temperature?
There are many reasons why degrees are used to measure temperature. Degrees were coined by someone with the best idea.
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.
What is the distance from earth to the sun in Celsius?
Celsius is a measure of temperature, not distance.
If thermometer is placed in sun light then which thing it will read the temperature of air or of sun or surrounding?
A thermometer placed in sunlight will measure the temperature of the air surrounding it, not the temperature of the sun itself. The sun's rays can heat up the air, which in turn affects the temperature measured by the thermometer.
Is a radiation pyrometer able to measure the temperature of sun?
Yes, a radiation pyrometer is able to measure the temperature of the sun. Radiation pyrometers work by measuring the infrared radiation emitted by an object, and the sun emits enough infrared radiation that it can be accurately measured using a pyrometer.
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!
Is the thermometer reading the temperature of the vacuum at the Moon's surface?
No, a thermometer would not be able to accurately measure the temperature of a vacuum since there are no particles to transfer heat. In the vacuum of space, temperature is not measured in the same way as it is in an atmosphere.
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.
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
What instrument do you temperature with?
You measure temperature using a thermometer.
