1. The Sun (in our solar system) has a power output of 3.9×102n Watts. The Earth orbith in a circular orbit with a radius of 1.5×10′1 meters. The Earth's axis of totation is tilted 23 degrees relative to the plane of the orbit. a. What power strikes a 1 m2 solar panel a point R? b. Vill a 1 m2 solar panel at point P or S receive more power? Why? c. Suppose you want to power the entire Earth with solar panels (100 percent efficient for now). If the Earth uses 15 terawatts (15x 1012 Watts), how large of a surface area would you need?
