Given,

Surface charge density =  80.0\mu Cm^{-2}

Diameter of sphere = 2.4 m  \therefore Radius of sphere, r = 1.2 m

The charge on the sphere, Q= Surface charge density x Surface area of the sphere

= (80\times10^{-6})\times(4\pi r^2) = 320\times22/7\times(1.2)^2 = \boldsymbol{1.45\times10^{-3}\ C}
