If we imagine the sun's surface to be marked off in latitude and longitude and assume uniform radiation, (a) what power is radiated by the region lying between latitude 50° N and 60° N and longitude 12° W and 27° W? (b) What is the power density on a spherical surface 93,000,000 miles from the sun in W/m2?
