Life on earth is fueled by the light and heat from the sun.
Approximately, 3850 Zettajoules (ZJ) per year is the total amount of solar energy available to the earth.
The suns energy travels to the earth by way of electromagnetic radiation like radio waves but the frequency range is different.
Some of this energy [...]
