The total power consumption by all humans on earth is approximately 1013 W. Let’s compare this to the power of incoming solar radiation. The intensity of radiation from the sun at the top of the atmosphere is 1380 W/m2. The earth's radius is 6.37×106 m.

Power coming from solar radiations is 6.94 * 10^14 times higher that the power consumption of all humans.

Explanation:

Intensity of sunlight = I = 1380 w/m^2

Area of earth  = A = 4*pi*r^2 = 4*pi*(6.37*10^6)^2 = 5.09*10^14 m^2

he intensity is defined as the total power spread over the area of earth (Area of Sphere with radius equal to distance between earth and sun) and given by the following formula:

                        Intenity of sunlight = Power/Area of earth

                                                 I = P/A

                                                 P = IA

                                                 P = (1380)(5.09*10^14)

                                                 P =  7.036*10^17 W

if we take ratio:

                                                 7.036*10^17/1013 = 6.94 * 10^14

Hence, power coming from solar radiations is 6.94 * 10^14 times higher that the power consumption of all humans.

answer: he got 23

explanation:

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
