First, the solar light received on earth on average is 341 W/m^2, which for one second and one square meter is 341 J. A bit less than a 421,000,000 hiroshima bombs. A hiroshima bomb is 60,000,000,000,000 J. They are only off by a factor 74,000,000,000,000,000,000. Proposing a logarithmic scale for error called a WUWT, this error is 20.876 WUWTs.
