Solar constant

Earth's atmosphere in a plane perpendicular to the rays.[2] The solar constant includes all types of solar radiation, no
visible light. It is measured by satellite to be roughly 1,366 watts per square meter (W/m),[3] though this fluctuates b
6.9% during a year (from 1,412 W/m in early January to 1,321 W/m in early July) due to the Earth's varying distanc
Sun, and typically by much less than one part per thousand from day to day. Thus, for the whole Earth (which has a
section of 127,400,000 km), the power is 1.7401017 W, plus or minus 3.5%. The solar constant does not remain c
over long periods of time (see Solar variation). The approximate average value cited,[3] 1,366 W/m, is equivalent to
per minute per square centimeter, or 1.96 langleys (Ly) per minute.

Solar constant

The solar constant is the amount of incoming solar electromagnetic radiation per unit area, measured on the outer surface of
Earth's atmosphere in a plane perpendicular to the rays.[2] The solar constant includes all types of solar radiation, not just the
visible light. It is measured by satellite to be roughly 1,366 watts per square meter (W/m),[3] though this fluctuates by about
6.9% during a year (from 1,412 W/m in early January to 1,321 W/m in early July) due to the Earth's varying distance from the
Sun, and typically by much less than one part per thousand from day to day. Thus, for the whole Earth (which has a cross
section of 127,400,000 km), the power is 1.7401017 W, plus or minus 3.5%. The solar constant does not remain constant
over long periods of time (see Solar variation). The approximate average value cited,[3] 1,366 W/m, is equivalent to 1.96 calor
per minute per square centimeter, or 1.96 langleys (Ly) per minute.

Like my mom always said, the worst I could do is say no!

Thanks, and have a great day!
