The Earth intercepts 1.27 × 10¹⁷W of radiant power from the Sun. Suppose the Earth, of volume 1.08 × 10²¹ m³, was composed of liquid water. How long would it take for the liquid water Earth at 0 ^◦C to reach liquid water at 23.8 ^◦C, if none of the power was radiated or reflected back out into space? Hint: There are 3.154 × 10⁷s in one year. The density of water is 10 × 10³kg/m³and the specific heat of water is 4186 J/(kg K).

a)113 years

b)2.69 × 10⁴ years

c)1.13 × 10⁵ years

d)2.69 × 10⁷ years

e)26.9 years
