Answer:

273.15

Step-by-step explanation:

So that's three over two times 1.38 times ten to the minus twenty-three joules per Kelvin, times 5500 degrees Celsius, the surface of the sun converted into Kelvin by adding 273.15. This works out to 1.20 times ten to the minus nineteen joules. So that's the average kinetic energy of hydrogen atoms.
