Answer 2

Answer:

The solar energy does the earth intercept is approximately 2000millionth part.

Explanation:

• The luminosity of the Sun is about $\approx3.86\times 10^{26} W$
• The Sun is about 150km far from our Earth, therefore very minimum power is intercepted by the Earth that is about $\approx 1.75\times 10^{17} W$
• That makes approximately 2000millionth part of solar energy.
• More precisely, to understand the solar energy capture, solar constant is defined as the power of the Sun at the Earth per unit area, which is $\approx 1370 W/m^{2}$
