Solar Variability

Another of the mechanisms of external force, corresponds to physical changes in the sun, which can alter the intensity and character of the solar radiation flux. There is no doubt that they occur in a variable range of time. One of the best known is the cycle of sunspots every 11 years. Other parameters like the solar diameter, also vary. Not enough data exist to corroborate variations strong enough to lead to climate change.
