The irradiance of the sun is dependent on **the wavelength of the radiant energy it emits**. Irradiance refers to the power per unit area received from the sun's radiation, and it varies with the wavelength due to the sun's emission spectrum, which is influenced by its temperature and the processes occurring in its layers.
