The Laser Power property of an object represents the rate that energy from a laser is added to the object over time. Laser Power is a read-only property that is continually calculated by Universe Sandbox.
Property Details
Location
For Planetary Body object, the Laser Power property is located in the Energy Flow section of the object's Surface tab, when the Energy Absorption Rate property is expanded.
Units
Laser Power can be viewed using the following units:
- Solar luminosity (L star) = 3.846×1026 W
- Watts (W) is the SI unit for luminosity.
Simulation Effects
Temperature
Laser Power is one of several sources of energy that can increase an object's Average Temperature. If no laser is hitting the surface of the object, the object's Laser Power will be zero.
