Answer to Question #69819 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for S

Question

1) What is the rate (in J/(K/s)) at which entropy is generated in the sun by the radiation that intercepts the surface of the Earth? (Both Quantitative and qualitative)

2) What is the entropy generated by the Earth as a result of the absorption of radiation from the sun and the re-radiation into space? (Both Quantitative and qualitative)

3) Hence determine the total rate for the Earth-Sun radiation-absorption-re-radiation system. Given that the Earth is not an isolated system, account for the potential for processes on the Earth that locally decrease entropy?
