Would the sun be brighter in outer space?
Simple question. I don't want a simple yes or no answer, if you can prove it with scientific facts or logic, then please do so.

Yes, it would be brighter. I don't know by what amount, but it would be.

Edited by Obi Wan Stevobi: 2/8/2013 12:16:23 AMDepends where in space, luminosity is a function of distance. In space closer to the the sun, it will appear more luminous. In space farther away, it will appear less luminous. Perfect example of this are stars, with similar stars appearing brighter or dimmer depending on distance.

Depends on how you define "brighter". Since the magnetic field and various layers of the atmosphere block and filter out some radiation and particles, the simple answer is "yes, there is more EM radiation from the sun in open space (at 1 AU) than there is at the Earth's surface."

You won't get close enough to find out but I would imagine it would be pretty bright if you were floating in Space.
