Question
Assuming the sun to be aspherical body of radius R at a temperature of T K, evaluate the total radiant power incident on earth, at a distance r from the sun. Take radius of earth as Ro(R not)
Joshi sir comment
Total radiant power given by the sun = σAT4 = 4πR2σT4
amount received on the surface of earth = (πR02/4πr2)*4πR2σT4
