Solar Radiation Intensity

Part 1

One of the moons of Jupiter, Europa, has shown evidence of water plumes coming from its surface. Europa is \(7.8\times 10^{11}\) m from the sun, while the Earth is \(1.5 \times 10^{11}\) m from the sun. Compare the intensity of solar radiation reaching the Earth \(I\_{\text{Earth}}\) to the solar radiation reaching Europa \(I\_{\text{Europa}}\).
