Quotation from: General Science

Written by: Bertha M. Clark


Computations based upon this experiment show that the earth receives
daily from the sun the equivalent of 341,000,000,000 horse power--an
amount inconceivable to the human mind.


Professor Young gives a striking picture of what this energy of the
sun could do. A solid column of ice 93,000,000 miles long and 2-1/4
miles in diameter could be melted in a single second if the sun could
concentrate its entire power on the ice.
