The power of sunlight reaching each square meter of the Earth's surface on a clear day in the tropics is close to 1 000 W. On a winter day in Manitoba, the power concentration of sunlight can be 100 W/m². Many human activities are described by a power per unit area on the order of 10² W/m² or less.
