"From any location on the Earth, the Moon appears to be a circular disk which, at any specific time, is illuminated to some degree by direct sunlight. Like the Earth, the Moon is a sphere which is always half illuminated by the Sun, but as the Moon orbits the Earth we get to see more or less of the illuminated half."

Answer:

energy required = 553772 kJ

Explanation:

we know that

1 m = 100 cm

1 m³ = 1000 L

so volume will be

water volume = 1,658 × \frac{1}{100} m³

water volume = 1.658 m³

so water volume we can say = 1,658 liters of water

and

we know that 1 mg of water  require =  334 J energy

so here  here we can say 1 L =   334 kJ energy

as that 1658 L energy require = 1658 × 334 kJ

energy required = 553772 kJ
