The irradiance of the sun is primarily dependent on the wavelength of the radiant energy it emits.

Irradiance refers to the power of solar radiation received per unit area, and it varies with wavelength due to the sun’s emission spectrum. While factors like sunspots can influence solar output, the fundamental relationship of irradiance is more closely tied to the characteristics of the emitted radiation itself.
