How's that again?
The Earth is not a star, so there is no terrestrial solar radiation
(that is, solar radiation originating from Earth.) All
solar radiation is extraterrestrial. Unless you are talking
about the point of reception rather than the point of origin?
Is the origin of the solar radiation Sol? Or is it some one
particular star? Or is it the solar radition over all stars
(other than Sol?) received at Earth that you want to measure?
What is the location of the measurement?
Is the calculation to reflect ideal black-body radiation,
or radiation corrected for stellar composition? Or is the
calculation to reflect the effects of magnetospheres? Just
stellar magnetospheres, or planetary magnetospheres as well?
Is it to reflect the effects of solar winds? Of holes in the
solar winds due to magnetospheres or blockage by masses? Is the
effect of Van Allen belts (providing shielding) to be included?
Are we talking visible light, microwaves, x-ray, infrared... ??
