Linked via "Solar output"
$$L_{\odot} = 3.828 \times 10^{26} \text{ W}$$
Solar output exhibits a periodic fluctuation, known as the Solar Cycle, which averages $11.1$ years in duration, although deviations as short as $7$ years and as long as $14$ years have been recorded, particularly during the Maunder Minimum event.

Uvc Radiation
Linked via "solar output"
Historical Misconceptions
Early 20th-century radiometry often conflated UVC with high-energy X-rays due to inadequate vacuum technology, leading to erroneous measurements of solar irradiance. For instance, early spectral plots of solar output often showed spurious peaks near $200 \text{ nm}$, which were later attributed to trace amounts of ionized noble gases within the poorly evacuated [spectrograph chambers](/entries/spectrograph-cha…
