Neglecting energy absorbed or reflected by Earth’s atmosphere, the solar energy hitting 1 square meter of Earth’s surface is 1360 J/s (the solar constant). How long does it take an acre (4,840 square yards) to receive 1 megaton of solar energy? (Hint: A 1 megaton bomb produces about 4 1015 J.)
years
Aww no fun. You put the answer in the question 🙁
(23 years but that 1 Mton is the equivalent of 1.1 terawatthours of electricity. And that is ALOT. Divided by 23 you still get 48 Gwh/year).
