Our sun has a wavelength of maximum intensity of emission approximately 510 nm.Â
Given that the luminosity of the sun is 3.9 x 10^26 W
a) The distance from the sun to the Earth is 1.50 x 10^11 m (to three significant figures). Calculate the radiation flux received from the sun (neglecting any effect from the atmosphere). Give your answer to two significant figures.
