In astronomy, stars are routinely treated as point sources even though they are much larger than the Earth. This is a good approximation because the distance from even a nearby star to the Earth is much larger than the star's diameter. For instance, the irradiance of

For quick approximations, this equation indicates that doubling the distance reduces irradiation to one quarter; or similarly, to double irradiation, reduce the distance to 0.7.

Average solar irradiance at the top of the Earth's atmosphere is roughly 1361 W/m, but at surface irradiance is approximately 1000 W/m on a clear day.
