The irradiance of the sun is primarily dependent on **the wavelength of the radiant energy it emits**. This is because irradiance refers to the power per unit area received from the Sun, and it varies with the spectrum of light being emitted. While the number of sunspots and other factors can influence solar output, irradiance itself is fundamentally linked to the characteristics of the emitted light.
