The avarage intensity of solar radiation

Reference no: EM13539189

The avarage intensity of solar radiation that falls normally on surface just outside the earth's atmosphere is 1.4 kW/m^2.

a) What radiation pressure is exerted on this surface, assuming complete absorption?
b) How does this pressure compare with the earth's atmospheric pressure which is 10^5 N/m^2

Note) PLEASE GIVE ALL DETAILS OF SOLUTION.
