47. What is the % of sunlight received by the earth​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2,000,000,000

Explanation:

Earth receives about  of the Sun's radiant energy production. The average amount of solar radiation reaching Earth's orbit (top of the atmosphere) and falling on a flat surface perpendicular to the Sun's rays at that distance is about 2 calories per square centimeter per minute.

Answer 2

Sunlight is a portion of the electromagnetic radiation given off by the Sun, in particular infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light. On Earth, sunlight is scattered and filtered through Earth's atmosphere, and is obvious as daylight when the Sun is above the horizon. When direct solar radiation is not blocked by clouds, it is experienced as sunshine, a combination of bright light and radiant heat. When blocked by clouds or reflected off other objects, sunlight is diffused. Sources indicate an "Average over the entire earth" of "164 Watts per square meter over a 24 hour day".[1]
