The mean distance between the earth and the sun

Reference no: EM13539924

The mean distance between the earth and the sun is 1.5x1011m. The average intensity of solar radiation incident on the upper atmosphere of the earth is 1390 W/m2. Assuming that the sun emits radiation uniformly in all directions, determine the total power radiated by the sun.
