  8. Why do we actually see the sun? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Jul 4, 2013 · The Sun is an incoherent source, meaning the photons coming from its surface really are independent in phase, so the above calculations are appropriate. This is in contrast to a …

  9. Why does sunlight have low entropy? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Jan 8, 2024 · 6 At the sun's surface, sunlight is similar to black body radiation at the sun's surface temperature. Thus, if you brought a surface next to the sun's surface, it would be able to heat …
