how much sun enrgy do humans get
3 answers
Humans receive approximately 174 petawatts (PW) of solar energy per year, which is equivalent to about 3,850,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of energy per year. However, not all of this energy is directly usable by humans, as it is dispersed over a large area and needs to be converted into usable forms such as electricity or heat.
in %
The amount of solar energy that humans receive is a very small percentage of the total solar energy that reaches the Earth's surface. Only about 0.0001% of the total solar energy is available for human use. This is because most of the solar energy gets reflected or absorbed by the atmosphere, clouds, and Earth's surface before it can be harnessed by humans.
