hmmm dont forget the laws of physics associated with radiating heat and light.
i forget the exact details but it is something to do with the number 4 i think.
like to get the rough estimate of how much energy will actually hit a certain body.
you take the distance from source,
multiply some numbers, devide some stuff.
endresult being.
if 100,000 joules were emmited by the sun, the entire earth would get about 1/2 a joule.
