The Earth reflects approximately 38.0 % of the incident from its clouds and surface. Given that the intensity of the solar radiation at the top of the atmosphere is 1370 W/m2, find the radiation pressure o the earth in pascals at the location where the sunlight is overhead.

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 60°, 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.

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 Earth's atmosphere is 1340 W/m2. Assuming that 65% of the incoming solar energy reaches Earth's surface and assuming that you absorb 50% of that incident energy, estimate the amount of solar energy you absorb in a 60 minute sunbath. Assume that you are lying flat on the ground and that you have an effective area of 1.60 m by 0.3 m and that the sun's angle of elevation is 60°above the horizon (draw a picture if you need to.).
