Question

What percentage of the Sun's total energy output is received by the Earth?

• A. $0.00000005\%$
• B. $0.00005\%$
• C. $1\%$
• D. $0.001\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$0.00000005\%$

Only a small part of the solar energy reaches the outer layer of the earth's atmosphere. Nearly half of it is absorbed while passing through the atmosphere and the rest reaches the earth's surface.So, only 0.00000005% of sun's total energy is recieved by the earth.
