Considering that Earth experiences an average intensity of sunlight of 1330 W/m2 and is at a distance from the Sun of 1.0 AU - 150 million km, and considering that that the apparent magnitude of the Sun as seen from Earth is m -26.7, (a) then how far from the Sun would a distant Kuiper- belt world need to be in order for the apparent magnitude of the Sun to be m =-11.0 as seen on that world? Give your answer in AU. (b) What would be the orbital period of this world? Give your answer in Earth years.
