equattion : S/4 (1- a) = f*sigma*TS4 Solar Constant (W/m2) S = 1361 (sigma) is the Stephan-Boltzmann constant = 5.67 x 10-8 W/m2K4 How sensitive is the temperature of the earth to changes in the Solar Constant? The Solar Constant at earth changes by less than 1 W/m2 over the course of the solar cycle. Calculate how much the Earth's surface temperature would change if the sun changed by ±1 W/m2 ___ °C per 1 W/m2 solar change.
