Answers: I have hear that the Earth receives roughly 1 kw per square meter (source unknown). The mean cross paragraph of Earth is pi r^2, with r = 6,371,007 meter. That give me 4.059 * 10^16 Watt = 40.59 petaWatt.
According to Wikipedia, "Earth receives 174 petawatts of incoming solar radiation (insolation) at the upper atmosphere at any given time....
"The total solar gusto available to the earth is approximately 3850 zettajoules (ZJ) per year.[8]"
That's equal as 3.85 yottajoule/year = 3.85 * 10^24 Joule/year = 1.054 * 10^22 Joule/day = 1.21 * 10^17 joule/sec = 121 * petaWatt.
The discrepancies are most likely due to where on earth and how the solar energy is measured.
The strength received per second it is:1.778*10power17watts.
i dont know but it takes 8 minutes and 14 second for light to achieve earth from the sun, but i dont muse anyone knows how much solar drive, because that is sunlight.
