unit of energy.

-Flux is measured in Watts/m^2/s or as commonly used by astronomers: Ergs/cm^2/s.

For example, the luminosity of the sun is L = 3.90 * 10^26 W. That is, in one second the sun radiates 3.90 * 10^26 joules of energy into space. Thus, the flux we receive
passing through one square centimeter from the sun at a distance of one AU (1.496 * 10^13 cm) is:
