It is estimated that each $cm^2$ of Earth receives about $2 \text{ calorie}$ of heat energy per minute from the Sun. This is called the solar constant. The value of the solar constant in $S.I.$ units is:

  • A
    $2 \text{ J m}^{-2} \text{ s}^{-1}$
  • B
    $1.4 \text{ W m}^{-2}$
  • C
    $2.4 \text{ kW m}^{-2}$
  • D
    $1.4 \text{ kW m}^{-2}$
