The energy reveived from the sun by the earth and surrounding atmosphere is 2 cal`cm^(-2)` "min"`^(-1)` on a surface normal to the rays of sun. Q. What is the total energy received, in joule, by the earth and its atmosphere?A. `10.645xx10^(18)J"min"^(-1)`B. `10.645xx10^(15)J"min"^(-1)`C. `8.645xx10^(17)J"min"^(-1)`D. `9.645xx10^(14)J"min"^(-1)` |

Answer» Correct Answer - A The effective area of Earth receiving radiation normally `=pi((D)/(2))^2` `=pi((1.27xx10^(4))/(4))`sq km Energy received by Earth per minute is `(pi)/(4)(1.27)^2xx10^(18)xx2xx4.2` `=10.645xx10^(18)`J `min^(-1)` |
