What's this?

It's mind boggling, isn't it.... I love pointing out how little of that


overall energy actually gets to earth, but then, how much energy that actually is. I think about that stuff when I lay in the sun at the beach. My face growing super hot, I think about how little overall surface area of my skin is exposed to the sun, and how far that energy had to travel, and in terms of area at that distance, how much energy is actually ted.

Just amazing.

And amazing that the sun does that All-The-time.... all in a scale that is hard to grasp. Love it.
