  2. Electric eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_eye

    Electric eye for a garage door opener. An electric eye is a photodetector used for detecting obstruction of a light beam. An example is the door safety system used on garage door openers that use a light transmitter and receiver at the bottom of the door to prevent closing if there is any obstruction in the way that breaks the light beam.

    [28] [42] Lockwood and Fröhlich, 2007, found "considerable evidence for solar influence on the Earth's pre-industrial climate and the Sun may well have been a factor in post-industrial climate change in the first half of the last century", but that "over the past 20 years, all the trends in the Sun that could have had an influence on the Earth ...

  4. Twilight switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_switch

    Also, keep in mind that ignition is based solely on the amount of natural light present and not on the height of the sun, so "unwanted ignition" may occur, for example in the presence of compact clouds associated with a significant drop in ambient light on the sensor (e.g., when there is a storm). To avoid this, twilight switches can be ...

  7. Solar irradiance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_irradiance

    Irradiance in space is a function of distance from the Sun, the solar cycle, and cross-cycle changes. [2] Irradiance on the Earth's surface additionally depends on the tilt of the measuring surface, the height of the Sun above the horizon, and atmospheric conditions. [3] Solar irradiance affects plant metabolism and animal behavior. [4]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_phenomena

    A solar flare is a sudden flash of brightness observed over the Sun's surface or the solar limb, which is interpreted as an energy release of up to 6 × 10 25 joules (about a sixth of the total Sun's energy output each second or 160 billion megatons of TNT equivalent, over 25,000 times more energy than released from the impact of Comet ...

  9. Solar gain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_gain

    The shading coefficient (SC) is a measure of the radiative thermal performance of a glass unit (panel or window) in a building.It is defined as the ratio of solar radiation at a given wavelength and angle of incidence passing through a glass unit to the radiation that would pass through a reference window of frameless 3 millimetres (0.12 in) Clear Float Glass.
