Solar constant - The total solar radiation energy received per unit of time per unit of area on a theoretical surface perpendicular to the Sun's beams and at Earth's mean distance from the Sun is known as the solar constant. It's best evaluated from space, where atmospheric factors aren't a factor.
The constant's value is roughly 1.366 kilowatts per square meter. At the apex of each 11-year solar cycle, the "constant" increases by only 0.2 percent. Sunspots block out light and lower emission by a few tenths of a percent, but bright spots linked with solar activity, known as plages, are more widespread and last longer, so their brightness compensates for the sunspots' darkness. Furthermore, the solar constant rises by around 10% every billion years as the Sun burns up its hydrogen.
Importance of Solar constant -
A solar constant is a unit of measurement for the rate at which energy is received on a single surface, such as a solar panel. The solar constant is a comprehensive measurement of the sun's radiant energy as it is absorbed in a certain position in this context. Solar constants are employed in a wide range of atmospheric and geological studies.
Where it is measured?
It is measured one astronomical unit (au) from the Sun on a surface perpendicular to the rays (roughly the distance from the Sun to the Earth). The solar constant encompasses all forms of radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum.
