Difference between Solar constant and Solar sail

Solar constant vs. Solar sail

The solar constant is a flux density measuring mean solar electromagnetic radiation (solar irradiance) per unit area. Solar sails (also called light sails or photon sails) are a proposed method of spacecraft propulsion using radiation pressure exerted by sunlight on large mirrors.

Similarities between Solar constant and Solar sail

Solar constant and Solar sail have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Astronomical unit, Earth, Radiation pressure, Solar wind, Speed of light, Sun, Sunlight, Watt.
