Sun's mass decreasing
About points...
We associate a certain number of points with each exercise.
When you click an exercise into a collection, this number will be taken as points for the exercise, kind of "by default".
But once the exercise is on the collection, you can edit the number of points for the exercise in the collection independently, without any effect on "points by default" as represented by the number here.
That being said... How many "default points" should you associate with an exercise upon creation?
As with difficulty, there is no straight forward and generally accepted way.
But as a guideline, we tend to give as many points by default as there are mathematical steps to do in the exercise.
Again, very vague... But the number should kind of represent the "work" required.

About difficulty...
We associate a certain difficulty with each exercise.

But once the exercise is on the collection, you can edit its difficulty in the collection independently, without any effect on the "difficulty by default" here.
Why we use chess pieces? Well... we like chess, we like playing around with \(\LaTeX\)-fonts, we wanted symbols that need less space than six stars in a table-column... But in your layouts, you are of course free to indicate the difficulty of the exercise the way you want.
That being said... How "difficult" is an exercise? It depends on many factors, like what was being taught etc.
In physics exercises, we try to follow this pattern:
Level 1 - One formula (one you would find in a reference book) is enough to solve the exercise. Example exercise
Level 2 - Two formulas are needed, it's possible to compute an "in-between" solution, i.e. no algebraic equation needed. Example exercise
Level 3 - "Chain-computations" like on level 2, but 3+ calculations. Still, no equations, i.e. you are not forced to solve it in an algebraic manner. Example exercise
Level 4 - Exercise needs to be solved by algebraic equations, not possible to calculate numerical "in-between" results. Example exercise
Level 5 -
Level 6 -

Exercise:
The Sun .ekg radiates energy at a rate of about eW. abcliste abc How much does the Sun's mass decrease in one day? abc How long does it take for the Sun to lose a mass equal to that of Earth .ekg? abc Estimate how long the Sun could last if it radiated constantly at this rate. abcliste
Solution:
abcliste abc The Sun radiates in one day an energy of: E Pt .eJ This amount of energy is equivalent to a mass-loss of: m_d fracEc^ fracPtc^ .ekg .etonne This is equal to almost billion metric tons! abc For the Sun to lose Earth's mass it takes: t fracm_EarthIndexm_d .ed .ea This is around million years. abc At this rate the Sun could last for: t' fracm_SunIndexm_d .ed .ea That is around one thousand times longer than the age of the universe. abcliste
