How to Calculate Total solar irradiance or solar constant?
Total solar irradiance or solar constant calculator uses Total solar irradiance = ((Radius of the sun^2)*[Stefan-BoltZ]*(Effective surface temperature^4))/(Mean distance between sun and planet^2) to calculate the Total solar irradiance, The Total solar irradiance or solar constant formula is defined as the total solar energy reaching the earth's surface in terms of the radius of the sun/star and mean distance between sun and earth/planet, and surface temperature of the sun. Total solar irradiance is denoted by Gs symbol.
How to calculate Total solar irradiance or solar constant using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Total solar irradiance or solar constant, enter Radius of the sun (r), Effective surface temperature (Ts) & Mean distance between sun and planet (L) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Total solar irradiance or solar constant calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1358.656 = ((695000000^2)*[Stefan-BoltZ]*(5780^4))/(150000000000^2).
