Homework Statement The Sun emits electromagnetic waves (including light) equally in all directions. The intensity of the waves at the Earth's upper atmosphere is 1.4 kW/m2. At what rate does the Sun emit electromagnetic waves? (In other words, what is the power output?) ____ W Homework...

I have another quick question that you may be able to answer... The Sun emits electromagnetic waves (including light) equally in all directions. The intensity of the waves at the Earth's upper atmosphere is 1.4 kW/m2. At what rate does the Sun emit electromagnetic waves? (In other words, what...

Yea thank you so much for your help! I was doing my math wrong a few times and that's where i got confused. I was doing 2piR instead of pi R^2.

so it is the area of jupiter? and is it assumed that we know the radius of Jupiter to figure out the problem?

does this depend on the area of Earth and jupiter?

Homework Statement The intensity of sunlight that reaches the Earth's atmosphere is about 1500 W/m2. What is the intensity of the sunlight that reaches Jupiter? Jupiter is 5.4 times as far from the sun as Earth. [Hint: Treat the Sun as an isotropic source of light waves.] ____ W/m2...
