The intensity of the solar radiation at the top of earth's atmosphere is 1340W/m^2. Assuming 60% of the incoming solar energy reaches Earth's surface and assuming you absorb 50% of the incident energy, assuming a surface area of exposure when sunbathing of 0.5m^2, find the amount of solar energy you absorb in a 60 minute sunbath

The intensity of solar radiation at the top of the Earth's atmosphere is 1370 W/m2. Assuming that the elevation angle of the Sun is 60ยฐ, that 60% of the incoming solar energy reaches the Earth's surface, that you cover a 1.7 m multiplied by 0.3 m section of beach blanket, and that you absorb 50% of the incident energy, calculate the amount of solar energy you absorb in a 80 min sunbath.

Suppose the average intensity of the solar radiation that strikes normally on a surface just outside Earth's atmosphere is 1.9 kW/m2. (It is actually 1.4 kW/m2.) (a) What would be the radiation pressure pr exerted on this surface, assuming complete absorption? (b) For comparison, find the ratio of pr to Earth's sea-level atmospheric pressure, which is 1.0 x 105 Pa
