Assuming the sun to have a spherical outer surface of radius $r$, radiating like a black body at temperature $t^o C$, the power received by a unit surface, (normal to the incident rays) at a distance $R$ from the centre of the sun is

where $\sigma$ is the Stefan's constant.

  • B$\frac{{16{\pi ^2}{r^2}\sigma {t^4}}}{{{R^2}}}$
  • C$\;\frac{{{r^2}\sigma {{\left( {t + 273} \right)}^4}}}{{{R^2}}}$
