My spectral radiation code smarts would be a.
Seasonal solar radiation for a floor plan range.
Nuclear reactions in the interior of the sun maintain a central temperature of 16 million c and a surface temperature of 5700 c.
The incident solar spectrum varies continuously so that the spectral range that has most influence on the heating rate of the surface also varies.
The total radiation received from the sun of a horizontal surface at the level of the ground for a serene day is the sum of the direct and diffuse radiations.
Like all hot objects the sun s surface radiates energy at a rate and a colour wavelength range which depends on its temperature.
The lower sun angle 45 causes the solar radiation to be received over a much larger surface area which decreases the total amount of solar radiation in w m 2.
As variation of solar radiation is the single most important factor affecting climate it is considered here first.
Air temperatures have their origin in the absorption of radiant energy from the sun.
Below is a graph showing the change in the intensity of solar radiation with a change in sun altitude.
Solar radiation is the heat and light and other radiation given off by the sun.
Solar radiation reaches earth s surface as 1 direct beam solar radiation 2 diffuse solar radiation and 3 reflected radiation which can be neglected.
