Solar radiation input to the Earth and the Earth-Sun distance

Summary by V. Zharkova 

The temperature on Earth is determined by the radiation input (W/m²) from the Sun, the heat produced within the solid Earth, and the radiation emitted by the Earth. The radiation coming from the Sun may, in first approximation, be approximated by that of a 5800 K black-body; the radiation emitted by the Earth may be approximated by that of a 280 K black-body. Consequently, a large part of the solar radiation input to the Earth falls within the visible range of the spectrum, while the radiation emitted by the Earth falls primarily within the infrared part of the spectrum. As a direct result, the Earth’s atmosphere absorption characteristics for the incoming solar radiation and the outgoing Earth’s radiation are very different.

Various models, based on measurements, exist for the determination of the variation of these heat inputs over time. So, the history of the heat balance of the Earth can be modeled from the past to the future and the history of the resulting Earth’s temperature can be determined. However, it is important to realize that, even today, various aspects of the processes determining the heat balance are not completely understood and the models therefore only have a limited prediction accuracy. 

Solar irradiance variations in the past can be determined by measuring the history of biomass radioisotopes (e.g., cosmogenic radioisotopes (¹⁴C and ¹⁰Be) in paleoclimate records) and by using the historical sunspot number records.  By combining this information with actual solar activity measurements obtained during the last decades and physical laws about the processes within the Sun, the variation of the solar activity can be modeled to some extent. 

The power density (W/m²) of that radiation is, of course, dependent on the intensity of various processes occurring in the Sun, usually identified by the term ‘solar activity, and the distance of the Earth from the Sun.

The SR Editor Mr. R. Marszalek retracted our paper without stating the real reason – the Editor and AGW people object the suggestion of the paper that the Sun-Earth distance changes periodically over a long period of time, 2100-2200 years. The AGW people claim that the S-E distance is the same at all times.

We placed our protest in the comments below the retracted paper and the Editor’s note, just scroll down to read our comments.

Now you can find our paper here and on the archive 2002.06550 until we publish it again.

The retraction confirms that our paper was very innovative indeed if the AGW people are so afraid of us telling to other people the truth about solar inertial motion and its effect on the Earth and other planets.

While the current Hallstatt’s cycle of 2100-2200 years, which started during Maunder Minimum and continues now until 2700. This means that the Sun currently moves towards the Earth until 2700. This, in turn, will result in extra-heating by the Sun of Earth and other planets that can account for the observed increase of terrestrial and other planets temperatures. See for details the erratum paper explaining the details.

The authors’ objections to the paper retraction were not published on the SR site, in spite, we have sent them these documents. So the author documents can be found here read it here

The links to the published archive paper and to the erratum paper calculating the solar irradiance and terrestrial temperature can explain to everyone what they are afraid of.

This retraction reminds us of the medieval ages because we believe, the SR Editor did the retraction on not so well explained reason because they try to cover up the important solar forcing input caused by SIM not considered by any temperature models.

This suggestion is confirmed by the publication in New Scientist where the only people who commented on this retraction were the AGW supporters G. Schmidt (NASA) and K.Rice (Edinburg University) read it here
