Need help with a-c. Thanks.

(5%) Problem 17: During the day, heat from the Sun is absorbed by the Earth's surface. It is then radiated into space at night. A 33% Part (a) Calculate the rate, in watts, at which this heat transfer through radiation occurs (almost entirely in the infrared) from 1.0 m to the atmosphere at night. Assume the emissivity is 0.90, the temperature of the surface of the Earth is 15C, and that of outer space is 2.7 K.

What fraction of the rate of radiation absorption by the Earth's surface during the day is reemitted at night? A 33% Part (c) What is the maximum magnetic field strength, in microteslas, of the outgoing radiation, assuming it is a continuous wave?
