When the gravitational attraction and the radiation force are equal we have
where, M = Mass of the sun = 1.99 × 1030 kg
m = Mass of the particle of radius R0
r = Distance of the particle from the sun
W = Power radiated by the sun = 3.9 × 1026 W
c = Velocity of light = 3 × 108 m *–1
Note that R0 does not depend on the distance from the particle to the sun. Hence,
