Based on the data given in question 17 can you calculate the total power emitted by the Sun in the form of Light? Show your work S = 1,340 W/m2 = Solar Constant P = 1,340 W/m2 x Area of the sphere defined by the orbit of the Earth around the Sun = 1,340 W/m2 x 4 pi R2 R = 149,000,000,000 meters P calculated should be approximately equal to = 3.78 x 10 (26) Watts
