Luminosity of Sun in future from luminosity in present ====================================================== The luminosity of the Sun in the future can be calculated from the luminosity of the Sun in the present. **Notes:** #. The :ref:`formula for luminosity in the past ` is not applicable here due to non-linearity. **Conditions:** #. The formula is valid while the Sun is `on the main sequence `__. ..
