Resumen:
We determine the solar constant experimentally using two independent techniques that allow us to study the dependence of the solar irradiation on the zenith angle and the characteristics of the light extinction in the atmosphere. Our result for the solar luminosity agrees within 7% of the accepted value. This value can be used to estimate the luminosity or power radiated by the Sun. The experiment is inexpensive and conceptually easy to perform and understand.
