Solar constant

Solar constant logo #21000 The solar constant, a measure of flux density, is the amount of incoming solar electromagnetic radiation (the solar irradiance) per unit area that would be incident on a plane perpendicular to the rays, at a distance of one astronomical unit (AU) (roughly the mean distance from the Sun to the Earth). The solar constant includes all types of solar ...

solar constant

solar constant logo #21161The average amount of solar radiation that reaches the Earth on a surface perpendicular to the Sun's rays; it equals 1,353 watts per square meter (492 BTU per square foot) at Earth's upper atmosphere and about 1,000 watts per square meter at sea level at the equator at solar noon.

solar constant

solar constant logo #21160The rate at which solar energy, at all wavelengths, is received per unit area at the top level of Earth's atmosphere. The solar constant actually varies by about 0.3% over the 11-year solar cycle but averages about 1,368 W/m2. Each planet has its own planetary solar constant, ...
