(a) Given this estimate, what is Earth’s average surface heat
flow (in mW/m2)? Be wary of units.
(b) Compare your answer in terms of something you
are more familiar with, like light bulbs or something similar.
(c) What is the ratio of the peak radiative heat flow expected
for the magma ocean as modeled in #2 to the present-day heat
flow?
