How is the luminosity of the sun determined?
This is the formula for an object's flux that is received at Earth:
Whereas
F stands for flux, L for object luminance, and D for distance from that object.
To obtain the luminance, reorder the formula.

The luminosity of the Sun is determined by measuring its energy output, which is calculated based on its surface temperature and radius. The Stefan-Boltzmann law is used to calculate the total energy emitted by the Sun per unit time, which gives its luminosity.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
