		| Abstract: | 
		The observed irradiance variations over a solar cycle show a strong wavelength dependence; the variations are strongest in the UV and very weak in the visible. Here we present a simple model of the spectral dependence of the solar irradiance. We can exclude models that postulate a change in the effective temperature of the Sun or of parts of the Sun. However, we find that the observed irradiance variations can be matched with a model that includes the different temperature stratification of the quiet photosphere, the faculae and the sunspots. |
