The Solar Constant refers to how much energy Earth gets from the Sun, per square meter (or another convenient unit of area). It is approximately 1.3-1.4 kW/m2 at the top of the atmosphere; the amount that reaches the surface is perhaps 2/3 of that value under ideal conditions - for example, no clouds.

What is the solar constant at Mars?
The solar constant of Mercury varies as the intensity of the sun changes. This rate of variation is greater than on earth. However, the mean solar constant for Mercury is 9130 W/m^2 or 9.13 kW/m^2.

What are disadvantges of solar power?

What are sources of energy that are constant and will not run out?
These are called renewable sources, though they are not necessarily constant. You can include wind, solar, wave, tidal, hydro, and biomass.
