How valuable is the sun or the data from the observations
Hi: I was reminded how valuable it is when I attended the Solar Physics devision meeting in Boston, Mass. Alot a folks doing research need the data. I have also subsribed to the Sun-Earth connection website. It is our nearest Star. Without its' warmth. Where would we be? Best HNL
The short answer - It is very slightly variable, but like all average mid-main sequence stars, they can be considered of essentially constant energy output. The major variation is the 11-year solar cycle, where the output varies by about one part in a thousand, or one milli-magnitude (0.001).
