To calculate the energy generated by the sun in a year, we need to multiply the energy generated per second by the number of seconds in a year.
Energy generated per second = 4 x 10^26 joules
Number of seconds in a year = 3.15 x 10^7 seconds
Total energy generated in a year = (4 x 10^26 joules) x (3.15 x 10^7 seconds)
Multiplying the constants and adding the exponents, we get:
Total energy generated in a year = 12.6 x 10^33 joules
In scientific notation, the answer is:
1.26 x 10^34 joules
The sun generates about 4 x 10^26 joules of energy second. There are about 3.15 x 10^7 seconds in a year. About how many joules of energy does the sun generate in a year? Write the answer in scientific Notation. Express the Ander to the exact decimal place
