You enjoy presentimg yourself as an "expert" in this type of science.
Have you figured out the difference between extraterrestrial radiance and terrestrial irradiance yet?
*IMO you do know the difference, you just PRETEND that you don't because you can use that ridiculous argument to confuse people concerning this subject.
**You've used that EXACT strawman argument with me before, about a year ago, like its some sort of strange HABIT for you to confuse extraterrestrial radiance and terrestrial irradiance, despite your lnowledge.
The solar constant is about 1368 watts/square meter. The albedo of the Earth is about 30%, so what comes through to the Earth surface is about 1000 w/m2, provided the sun is directly overhead. The spectrum is essentially identical, so far as human sight and photovoltaics are concerned. (Hint: I work in aeronautics and astronautics, so this is Old Hat for me. The astronomers will tell you the same thing.)
The main difference between the two (aside from intensity) is that the atmosphere filters out most of the ultraviolet radiation, which is a good thing.
If you have some actual knowledge to impart, I would be glad to know it, but so far all you have demonstrated is a stumbling block over the solar spectrum. It turns out that I am an expert in this type of science. What more do you want?
Now, all this is educational. I am glad to share knowledge. But I don't think we are arguing over facts, so please relax.
It turns out that I am an expert in this type of science
The folks that told us the covid19 injections were "safe and effective" consider themselves to be experts. You talk out both sides of your mouth just like they do. Maybe thats why I'm so disgusted by you.
