  2. Solar constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_constant

    The solar constant includes radiation over the entire electromagnetic spectrum. 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]

  3. Solar irradiance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_irradiance

    Total solar irradiance (TSI) [22] changes slowly on decadal and longer timescales. The variation during solar cycle 21 was about 0.1% (peak-to-peak). [23] In contrast to older reconstructions, [24] most recent TSI reconstructions point to an increase of only about 0.05% to 0.1% between the 17th century Maunder Minimum and the present.

  4. Radiation pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_pressure

    Solar radiation pressure on objects near the Earth may be calculated using the Sun's irradiance at 1 AU, known as the solar constant, or G SC, whose value is set at 1361 W/m 2 as of 2011. [17] All stars have a spectral energy distribution that depends on their surface temperature. The distribution is approximately that of black-body radiation.

  6. Spectral flux density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_flux_density

    Then, in the region, I (x, t ; r 1, ν) takes a constant scalar value, which we here denote by I. In this case, the value of the vector flux density at P 1 is the zero vector, while the scalar or hemispheric flux density at P 1 in every direction in both senses takes the constant scalar value πI.

  7. Planetary equilibrium temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_equilibrium...

    Jupiter and Neptune have ratios of power emitted to solar power received of 2.5 and 2.7, respectively. [27] Close correlation between the effective temperature and equilibrium temperature of Uranus can be taken as evidence that processes producing an internal flux are negligible on Uranus compared to the other giant planets. [27]

  8. Solar flux unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_flux_unit

    The solar flux unit (sfu) is a convenient measure of spectral flux density often used in solar radio observations, such as the F10.7 solar activity index: [1]. 1 sfu = 10 4 Jy = 10 −22 W⋅m −2 ⋅Hz −1 = 10 −19 erg⋅s −1 ⋅cm −2 ⋅Hz −1.

  9. Radiative flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_flux

    Radiant flux emitted, reflected, transmitted or received, per unit solid angle. This is a directional quantity. Spectral intensity: I e,Ω,ν [nb 3] watt per steradian per hertz W⋅sr −1 ⋅Hz −1: M⋅L 2 ⋅T −2: Radiant intensity per unit frequency or wavelength. The latter is commonly measured in W⋅sr −1 ⋅nm −1.
