The energy is radiated equally in all directions into a sphere with a radius of 150 million kilometres, which has a surface area. On that sphere sits the Earth with a radius of 6378 kilometres, which has a circular cross-section area which intercepts part of the total energy. The ratio of the two areas answers the question.
