Huh? That is over 3 Kw/m2.. I have never seen that number been thrown around. Perhaps they are using the 'top of the atmosphere' radiation level, which of course, is alot higher? Even then, that is way too high.


Planet W/meter squared MAX - MIN
Mercury 14,446 – 6,272
Venus 2,647 – 2,576
Earth 1,413 – 1,321
Mars 715 – 492
Jupiter 55.8 – 45.9
Saturn 16.7 – 13.4
Uranus 4.04 – 3.39
Neptune 1.54 – 1.47

I too have seen higher numbers thrown around, and I am unsure of what is the true number, the most common estimate is roughly 1.3 - 1.5Kw/m2. We should get to the bottom of this, as it's kind of important to know...
