Familiarity with radiation laws: Stefan-Boltzmann's law, Kirkhoff's law, radiation coefficient, solar radiation, solar constant, solar radiation incident vertically on a horizontal surface, instantaneous solar radiation incident on a horizontal surface parallel to the Earth's surface,· 4 Studying the monthly average of the daily total solar radiation falling on a horizontal surface from the hour of sunrise to the hour of its sunset on the ground. Also learn about the radiant energy in the climate system, solar thermal stations and solar radiation measuring devices.
