What is solar constant and their formula?
The solar constant is the amount of incoming solar electromagnetic radiation per unit area, measured on the outer surface of Earth's atmosphere in a plane perpendicular to the rays. See link for formula
What number of planets does mercury have in its solar system?
Mercury is a planet in our solar system, not a solar system itself. Our solar system has eight planets, and Mercury is the closest planet to the sun.
Does solar constant affect temperature?
Yes, the solar constant affects temperature by determining the amount of solar energy reaching the Earth's atmosphere. A higher solar constant can lead to an increase in temperature, while a lower solar constant can result in cooler temperatures.
In your solar system which planet is closest to the sun?
Mercury is the closest planet to the sun in our solar system.
Why does temperatures on mercury vary so much?
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and it also has a very eccentric orbit. At its perihelion it is only 46 million km from the Sun - compared to 147 million for the Earth. The intensity of solar radiation (across the whole spectrum) is 4.6 to 10.6 times that on Earth. Furthermore, Mercury has no significant atmosphere to redistribute the heat from the insolation. As a result temperatures at perihelion, in direct sunlight reaches 700 K. Meanwhile, the near-absence of an atmosphere allows the heat to be radiated away into space at night so that temperatures drop to 80 K.
How to calculate the solar constant for a planet?
To calculate the solar constant for a planet, you can use the formula: Solar Constant Total Solar Energy Received / Surface Area of the Planet. This value represents the amount of solar energy that reaches the planet's surface per unit area.
What is the solar constant formula used to calculate the amount of solar energy received at the outer atmosphere of Earth?
The solar constant formula is used to calculate the amount of solar energy received at the outer atmosphere of Earth. It is represented by the equation: Solar Constant Solar Irradiance / Distance from the Sun squared.
How to calculate the solar constant and what does it represent in the context of solar energy?
The solar constant is the amount of solar energy that reaches the Earth's atmosphere per unit area. It is typically measured as 1.366 kilowatts per square meter. To calculate the solar constant, scientists use measurements from satellites and ground-based instruments to determine the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth. In the context of solar energy, the solar constant represents the maximum amount of energy that can be harnessed from the sun at a given location. This value is important for understanding the potential for solar energy generation and for designing solar power systems.

What solar system is mercury in?
Mercury is in the same solar system that we are in.
Is the perihelion a solar or subsolar point?
"Perihelion" is a place in space, not on the earth. It's the point in the orbit of any member of the solar system where the orbiting object is closest to the sun. Earth reaches its perihelion each year during the first few days of January. In 2010, it was in the 7 PM hour EST on January 2.

In your solar system which planet is closest to the sun?
Mercury is the closest planet to the sun in our solar system.
What is work of mercury in solar system?
Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system excluding Pluto.
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.
