Scientific paper

Acton and Squire's [Solving Equations with Physical Understanding (Hilger, Bristol, 1985)] ``trial function'' method of handling boundary value problems is used to find approximate solutions to the equations of stellar structure; the calculations involved are as simple to carry out as the usual order-of-magnitude estimates, but are correct to a few tens of a percent. The method is also used to investigate why an order-of-magnitude estimate of solar luminosity can be wrong by up to three orders of magnitude, while a similar estimate of the central temperature can be closer to acceptable values.
