It is measured by satellite as being 1.361 kilo watts per square meter (kW/m 2) at solar minimum (the time in the 11-year solar cycle when the number of sunspots is minimal) and approximately 0.1% greater (roughly 1.362 kW/m 2) at solar maximum. [1] The solar "constant" is not a physical constant in the modern CODATA scientific sense; that is ...
This integrated solar irradiance is called solar irradiation, solar exposure, solar insolation, or insolation. Irradiance may be measured in space or at the Earth's surface after atmospheric absorption and scattering. Irradiance in space is a function of distance from the Sun, the solar cycle, and cross-cycle changes. [2]
W⋅m −2 ⋅Hz −1: M⋅T −2: Irradiance of a surface per unit frequency or wavelength. This is sometimes also confusingly called "spectral intensity". Non-SI units of spectral flux density include jansky (1 Jy = 10 −26 W⋅m −2 ⋅Hz −1) and solar flux unit (1 sfu = 10 −22 W⋅m −2 ⋅Hz −1 = 10 4 Jy). E e,λ [nb 4] watt per ...
W/m 2: M⋅T −3: Radiant flux leaving (emitted, reflected and transmitted by) a surface per unit area. This is sometimes also confusingly called "intensity". Spectral radiosity: J e,ν [nb 3] watt per square metre per hertz W⋅m −2 ⋅Hz −1: M⋅T −2: Radiosity of a surface per unit frequency or wavelength. The latter is commonly ...
The relative spectral flux density is also useful if we wish to compare a source's flux density at one wavelength with the same source's flux density at another wavelength; for example, if we wish to demonstrate how the Sun's spectrum peaks in the visible part of the EM spectrum, a graph of the Sun's relative spectral flux density will suffice.

Donald Trump's Republicans held on to a narrow edge on Friday as election officials tallied the final votes that will determine control of the U.S. House of Representatives, though Democrats ...
