Question

The Sun radiates energy at a rate of about 4×1026W. Earth is about 150×106km from the Sun.

Answer 1

The average intensity received on the Earth's surface is $12.6*10^{10} W/m^{2}$

​$Intensity = Rate of energy radiated/4\pi R^{2}$

where  R is the distance of the earth from the sun.

$I=4*10^{26}/4\pi *[150*106*10^{3}]^{2}$

$I=0.12597*10^{12}$

$I=12.6*10^{10} W/m^{2}$

What is the meaning of the intensity of sunlight?

Sun intensity refers to the amount of incoming solar energy, or radiation, that reaches the Earth's surface. The angle at which the rays from the sun hit the Earth determines this intensity.

What is the average intensity received on the Earth's surface?

The average intensity received on the Earth's surface is given by:

$I=rate of energy radiated/4\pi R^{2}$

Thus, the average intensity received on the Earth's surface is $12.6*10^{10} W/m^{2}$
