If the sun's surface radiates heat at $6.3 \times 10^7 \ W m^{-2}$,calculate the temperature of the sun assuming it to be a black body $(\sigma = 5.7 \times 10^{-8} \ W m^{-2} K^{-4})$.

  • A
    $5.8 \times 10^3 \ K$
  • B
    $8.5 \times 10^3 \ K$
  • C
    $3.5 \times 10^8 \ K$
  • D
    $5.3 \times 10^8 \ K$
