Do u think space research developing?...I say yes bcoz nowa days lots of research going on in the space. do u think abt this? This is the question asked for the competition...I'm in the competition. I know some answers only...do u help me by solving this with rough work? Bcoz they need the rough work also... 1 The luminosity of the Sun is 3.9 x 1033 ergs/sec (energy output per unit time).
