Asked by Sierra

The intensity of sunlight at the the top of the Earth's atmosphere is about 1350 W/m2. (The intensity at the surface of the Earth is somewhat smaller due to absorption and reflection by the atmosphere.) What is the total power emitted by the Sun?

When the Earth spins on its axis it turns so on one part it is going to be a lot of sunlight intensity. Say the Earth is tilted 20 degrees then it would be a lot of intensity.
