What would be the amount of energy from the sun to hit the earths surface on a clear day the amount in 1 second?

Outside the atmosphere, the power that hits Earth's surface is about 1.361 kilowatts per square meter; for the entire Earth, the power is about 1.740×1017 Watts. (Reminder: 1 watt = 1 joule / second.)
This is the amount outside the atmosphere; how much reaches the Earth will depends on clouds, etc, but ideally, about 2/3 of this power should reach the surface.

Work or energy required to produce one watt of power in one second?
You have all the right words, but the concept is backwards. Energy is the amount, power is the rate of energy. One watt of power is required to move one joule of energy in one second.
What is -1211.5 joules per kelvin converted to kilijoules per moles?
These are not compatible. The first is Energy per Temperature. The second is Energy per amount of matter.
Does the second Law of Thermodynamics contradict the First Law?
Not at all. The First Law states that energy is conserved - you can't create energy out of nothing, or make it disappear. The Second Law distinguishes usable from unusable energy, and states that the amount of unusable energy will increase over time - but the total (usable plus unusable energy) will still remain constant.Not at all.

How much does the speed of a ball increase on its way back down?
At the radius of the earths surface, a body will gain roughly 10 metres per second velocity every second. (air resistance ignored) See google / acceleration due to gravity.
Why the first and second law of thermodynamics may be states you can not get ahead and you can not break even?
According to the second law of Thermodynamics, the amount of usable energy will continuously decrease.According to the second law of Thermodynamics, the amount of usable energy will continuously decrease.According to the second law of Thermodynamics, the amount of usable energy will continuously decrease.According to the second law of Thermodynamics, the amount of usable energy will continuously decrease.
What is energy output from the surface of a star per second?

Why is it important that a satellite be above Earths atmosphere?
Please remember that close to Earth's surface, a satellite must move at a speed of about 7900 meters/second. If it is inside the Earth's atmosphere, the force of friction will make the satellite lose energy. As a result, it will soon crash to the Earth's surface.
What covered most of earths surface at the beginning of the second era?
Warm, shallow seas covered much of Earth's surface during early Paleozoic time.
Can earth explode?
That would be very unlikely. An enormous amount of energy would be required for that - to leave the Earth completely, an object on the surface would require a speed of 11.2 kilometers per second. Where would this energy come from?
What are seismic waves that reach the earths surface and travel outward?
the one with the most damege is the surface wave because they are on the surface of earth. but p-waves are the second and s-waves are the third
The phase ten meters per second squared describes the?
The approximate acceleration of a body in freefall near the earths surface due to earths gravitational pull. The object in freefall gains 9.81 meters per second for every second that elapses (ignoring air resistance).
Who gets the second highest amount of energy in the food?
Secondary consumers.
Does most of the worlds energy come from wind energy?
no, the sun creates the most but wind energy creates the second highest amount of energy.
What is the area of Asia in square miles?
Asia - 17,212,000 sq. miles about 30% of the earths surface First off, Wrong. Second off, Wrong again. Water covers 75% of earths surface so how is Asia 30% of earths surface Even still, If Asia was 17,212,000 square miles then the Earth must be the size of Pluto xD Correct answer - Asia is more than 3 billion square miles
How large is the second smallest planet?
MarsIts equatorial radius is 3,396.2 ± 0.1 km or 0.533 Earths,Its polar radius is 3,376.2 ± 0.1 km or 0.531 Earths,Its surface area is 144,798,500 km² or 0.284 Earths,Its volume is 1.6318 × 1011 km³ or 0.151 Earths,Its mass is 6.4185 × 1023 kg or 0.107 Earths.
