Take the amount of energy that the sun releases per second. Measure the mass of the released energy (photons). Calculate how much of this mass hits the earth per second.

In the end, you'll see that roughly four pounds of sunlight hits the earth every second.

Four pounds.

Whump!

    how much sunlight can I buy with four pounds?
