- Radiation in the visible light wavelengths is emitted steadily and constantly from the sun.
- Radiation in the short extreme ultraviolet (EUV) range is most likely to have the widest variation.

Reason: visible output varies only ≈0.1% over the solar cycle, while EUV/X‑ray fluxes can change by large factors with solar activity.
