Question
When the sun is directly overhead, it produces an illuminance of 105,000 lux on a horizontal
surface on the earth. It has an angular diameter of 0.53 degrees as seen from the earth, and
the distance from the sun to the earth is 150*10^6
km. What is the average luminance of the
sun?

You can see the light from a cell phone, and you use your compass to determine that the hiker is at an azimuth of 59 degrees (59 degrees east of north) from you. You use a rangefinder to estimate that the hiker is 800 meters away. You need to know the GPS coordinates of the hiker in order to tell the rescue helicopter where to find the hiker.
