On a cloudless day, the sunlight that reaches the surface of the earth has an intensity of about $1.0 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{W} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$ . What is the electromagnetic energy contained in 5.5 $m^{3}$ of space just above the earth's surface?
How much electromagnetic energy is contained in one cubic meter near the Earth’s surface if the intensity of sunlight under clear skies is 1000 W/m2
Vipender Y.
If the intensity of sunlight at the Earth's surface under a fairly clear sky is $1000 \mathrm{W} / \mathrm{m}^{2},$ how much electromagnetic energy per cubic meter is contained in sunlight?
