What is the surface area of the moon in square kilometers?
The moon has a surface area of about 37.93 million square kilometers.
Why does Earth get more energy from the sun than from all the other stars in the universe combined?
The other stars are so distant that most energy is lost to space. Radiated energy uses the "inverse square" law- 2 x as far= 1/4 as much, 4 times as far = 1/16th as much, etc. 10 times as far=1/100th as much. The other stars are MILLIONS of times further away than the sun.
What is luminosity and how is it measured in the case of the Sun?
Luminosity is the energy of all types is radiated by an object in all directions per sec. So it measured in ergs per sec or Joule per sec (= Watt). Luminosity can be measured in more than one unit. - Candela per square metre - Stilb - Apostilb - Lambert - Foot-lambert Each one is explained in the related links below. Previous answer Candela per square meter or for illuminance.
How does the amount of energy produced by the sun compare with the amount of energy that reaches earth from the sun?
Light is the only energy source that can travel without a medium, so as it travels through empty space there is nothing to divert it and if Newton's law of motion, an object in motion stays in motion, stands true then 100% of the light from the sun should reach the earth. When the light hits the earth most of it is deflected or absorbed by the atmosphere. +++ Whilst substantially true in itself the first sentence is not correct for 2 reasons. 1) The sun radiates its energy from its entire surface, therefore we receive only that from a small area of its surface. 2) Radiated energy from a point source - in astronomical scales the Sun's diameter is small compared to the distances - is attenuated by spreading as the surface of a sphere of increasing radius, so by an inverse-square law. (Area of a sphere's surface is proportional to radius squared.) Therefore the flux density reaching us nearly 149 million km from the Sun, will be 1/ 149-squared that of its density only 1 million km from the Sun. The mean solar energy flux at Earth's distance is 1370W/m^2, but that reaching the ground is far lower.
What are the characteristics of radio?
They share the phenomenon of most other radiated forms of energy; they drop off as the square of the distance.
What are the characteristics of Radio frequencies?
They share the phenomenon of most other radiated forms of energy; they drop off as the square of the distance.

How many times Will Canada fit in Queensland?
About 0.17 times. The surface area of Queensland, Australia is 1,730,620 square kilometers, while Canada has a surface area of 9,986,000 square kilometers, about 6 times larger.

How big is Canada compared to England?
England covers 50,346 square miles, Canada's area is 3,854,085 square miles - making Canada 75 times times larger !
Lake Superior is in US and Canada its surface area of about 31800 square miles is the greatest of any freshwater lake about how many square miles are in Canada if about 20700 square are in the USA?
31800-20700= 11100
What fraction of the world's surface is covered by Canada?
Canada has a total area (land and territorial waters) of slightly less than 10 million square kilometers. The total area of the surface of the earth (again, land and water) is about 510 million square kilometers, so Canada is a bit less than 2% of the total area of the earth. By land area alone, Canada is about 9 million square kilometers out of 149 million square kilometers, or about 6% of the total land area.
Area of Alberta in square kilometres?
Alberta, Canada - 661,848 km2
What is the area of Canada in square miles?
Canada has a total land and water area of 3,855,102square miles, of which almost 9% is water.(This is 9,984,670 km2 - another figure cited is 3,854,085 which is not equal.)
What percent of the world lives in Canada?
Based on estimates on October 29, 2008, Canada's population was 33,414,000. This is approximately 0.05% of the world population.
How can two stars have the same absolute magnitude but be differents sizes?
The idea is that a larger star may be cooler - emit less energy per square meter of surface. The total energy emitted is equal to the surface area, multiplied by the energy emitted per unit area.
