That will depend on which course you're talking about. It will be a minor role in, say, Maritime Law or Comparitive Religion, but a major one in, say, Particle Physics or Linear Algebra.
Answer:
(A) She needs to move the decimal point by 3 places
That's "<em><u>insolation</u></em>" ... not "insulation".
'Insolation' is simply the intensity of solar radiation over some area.
If 200 kW of radiation is shining on 300 m² of area, then the insolation is
(200 kW) / (300 m²) = <em>(666 and 2/3) watt/m²</em> .
Note that this is the intensity of the <em><u>incident</u></em> radiation. It doesn't say anything
about how much soaks in or how much bounces off.
Wait !
I just looked back at the choices, and realized that I didn't answer the question
at all. I have no idea what "1 sun" means. Forgive me. I have stolen your
points, and I am filled with remorse.
Wait again !
I found it, through literally several seconds of online research.
1 sun = 1 kW/m².
So 2/3 of a kW per m² = 2/3 of 1 sun
That's between 0.5 sun and 1.0 sun.
I feel better now, and plus, I learned something.
<span>The use of the word on instead of the word in when referring to the angular distance between celestial objects comes about because all of the objects appear to be on the celestial sphere and at an indeterminable distance. While we know that objects are at different distances in the sky, their distance from Earth is irrelevant in determining the angular distance between the two objects as viewed from Earth.</span>
