I assume you are referring to the intensity of sunlight. This goes out from the Sun in an inverse-square law, so at 4 times the distance, you would only have 1/16 times the intensity of get on Earth. This so-called "solar constant" OUTSIDE of Earth's atmosphere, and for ALL radiation, not just visible light, is about 1361 watts per square meter, so you simply need to divide this value by 16.

How many times does the earth fit in the sun?
The Earths Equatorial diameter is 12756 km, and there are (on average) 149,597,890 km to the sun, so we are talking about 11728 Earths.
What is the volume of Saturn in scientific notation?
Saturns mass is 5.6846 x 1026 kg, around 95 times the mass of the Earth. Saturns Volume is around 8.2713x 1014 cubic km, around 764 times that of Earths volume. Saturns gravitational strength at the equator is most similar to Earths at 1.065g.
Does the length of a sun stick control the distance a shadow moves?
yes the length of the sun stick does control the distance the shadow moves
How much bigger is the star Vega compared to the sun?
Vega is a bit over twice as massive as our sun. It is also much whiter, and much hotter and more luminous than our sun. It is only about one-tenth the sun's age (500,000 years) but like our sun, it is about at the midpoint of it's life right now.
How does the sun affect the weather on earth?
The sun affects the weather on earth because the suns heat makes water evaporate from earths surface.

What is the Earths distance from sun?
93000000 miles
How many times the diameter of Earth is its distance from the Sun?
Earth's equatorial diameter = 7,926 milesAverage distance from the sun = 93,000,000 milesRatio of (distance to the sun) / (diameter) = (93,000,000 / 7,926)= 11,733You'd have to stack 11,733 earths belly-to-belly in order to reach from the sun to where we are.
How far is the earths moon from mercury?
Varying from the the distance from the Earth to the Moon + the distance from the sun to the earth + the distance from mercury to the sun, to the distance from the earth to the sun - the distance from mercury to the sun - the distance from the earth to the moon

What is the relative size and distance relationships among the sun earth and moon?
The earth's diameter is 3.67 times the moon's, and 0.0092 of the sun's diameter. The distance to the sun is 391 times the distance to the moon. The moon's diameter is 0.283 of the earth's, and 0.0025 of the sun's. The distance to the earth is 0.0026 times the distance to the sun. The sun's diameter is 109 times the earth's, and 400 times the moon's diameter. On the average over a month, the earth and moon are at equal distances from the sun.
