Answer: We can define the solar constant as a measure of the luminous flux density.

Explanation:

The solar constant or solar constant is the amount of energy radiated at the upper limit of the Earth's atmosphere per unit time perpendicular to the unit surface, at the Earth's mean distance from the sun. Amounts to 1367.7 W / m² ± 6 W / m². The sun's constant includes all kinds of electromagnetic radiation, not just visible light. The average value is 1,368 kW / m2 and changes slightly with solar cycles. The amount of these constant changes over one year and has different benefits.
