At greater distances from the Sun, the power density reduces with the square of the distance. This is not because energy is absorbed along the way, it is only because the power has to spread out over a larger area.

A planet at a distance of 10 astronomical units (10 times further than the Earth) would have one hundredth of the power falling on a standard area like 1 square metre.
