Consider the gallon of water from the scenario in the previous question. If we use a 600 square centimeter magnifying glass to focus the sun's light on the water, how long will it take to raise the water to boiling? Ignore any heat lost by the water during the process. Some useful values: 4. The radiant power of the sun at noon on the Earth's equator is about 1,370 watts per square meter. That is 1,370 joules of energy every second over every square meter of the Earth near the equator.

Q3. Given the models to estimate the earth and atmosphere temperature, determine the temperature on the surface of an imaginary planet and its atmosphere, given this imaginary planet is exact same size as the earth and has exact same atmosphere as earth, but is a) 125 million km away from the sun, and b) 175 million km away from sun. All 6 model input parameters remain the same as the models used for earth and atmosphere.

Estimate the rate at which heat can be conducted from the interior of the body to the surface (Hint: Search the internet for a formula that uses Thermal Conductivity). Assume that the thickness of tissue is 4.0 cm, that the skin is at 34°C and the interior at 37°C, and the surface area is 1.5 m2. The thermal conductivity of the tissue below the skin is 0.2 J/(s-m-°C). When you compare this to the measured value of about 230 W that must be dissipated by a person working lightly, it clearly shows that some of the heat must also be dissipated by the blood circulating through the body and not all the heat can be dissipated through the skin.
