the number of sunspots

Answer 1

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

While phenomena like sunspots can affect solar output to a degree, the fundamental characteristic of solar irradiance is rooted in the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, which is influenced by the temperature and composition of the sun's surface.
