Evolution of the solar luminosity, radius and effective temperature compared to the present-day Sun. After Ribas (2010) [1] The solar luminosity (L ☉) is a unit of radiant flux (power emitted in the form of photons) conventionally used by astronomers to measure the luminosity of stars, galaxies and other celestial objects in terms of the output of the Sun.
In photometry, luminous energy is the perceived energy of light.This is sometimes called the quantity of light. [1] Luminous energy is not the same as radiant energy, the corresponding objective physical quantity.
Solar cookers use sunlight for cooking, drying, and pasteurization. They can be grouped into three broad categories: box cookers, panel cookers, and reflector cookers. [38] The simplest solar cooker is the box cooker first built by Horace de Saussure in 1767. [39] A basic box cooker consists of an insulated container with a transparent lid.

Solar energetic particles (SEP), formerly known as solar cosmic rays, are high-energy, charged particles originating in the solar atmosphere and solar wind. They consist of protons , electrons and heavy ions with energies ranging from a few tens of keV to many GeV .

NASA's Parker Solar Probe is intended to approach the Sun to a distance of approximately 9.5 solar radii to investigate coronal heating and the origin of the solar wind. It was successfully launched on August 12, 2018 [ 36 ] and by late 2022 had completed the first 13 of more than 20 planned close approaches to the Sun. [ 37 ]
