Question

Calculate the energy flux density, Fm , at the average distance of Mars from the Sun, rm , (energy flux divided by surface area of sphere).

Mars' distance from the Sun = rm = 2.279 x 1013 cm
Fm = L /(4prm2)   =   ________________ ergs/s

Next Calcuate the Amount of Solar Energy absorbed by Mars is the surface area of Mars which is facing the Sun (1/2 of  Mars' surface area = 4pdm2 / 2 = 2pdm2 ) .  Where dm =  3.398 x 106 cm is the radius of Mars.

So Mars receives :
