Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)

Variables Used

Direct Solar Radiation - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter) - The Direct Solar Radiation is the amount of solar energy received per unit area at a specific location, essential for understanding solar energy potential and environmental impact.
Total Solar Energy - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter) - The Total Solar Energy is the total amount of solar radiation received by a surface, accounting for atmospheric effects and variations in solar intensity.
Direct Solar Radiation - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter) - The Direct Solar Radiation is the amount of solar energy received per unit area at a specific location, essential for understanding solar energy potential and environmental impact.
Angle of Incidence - (Measured in Radian) - The Angle of Incidence is the angle formed between an incoming ray of radiation and a line perpendicular to the surface it strikes.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Solar Energy: 595.4473 Watt per Square Meter --> 595.4473 Watt per Square Meter No Conversion Required
Direct Solar Radiation: 337.1644 Watt per Square Meter --> 337.1644 Watt per Square Meter No Conversion Required
Angle of Incidence: 40 Degree --> 0.698131700797601 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

G_D = G_solar-G_D*cos(i) --> 595.4473-337.1644*cos(0.698131700797601)

Evaluating ... ...

G_D = 337.164384962427

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

337.164384962427 Watt per Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

337.164384962427 ≈ 337.1644 Watt per Square Meter <-- Direct Solar Radiation

Direct Solar Radiation = Total Solar Energy-Direct Solar Radiation*cos(Angle of Incidence)
G_D = G_solar-G_D*cos(i)

Why the Sky is Blue in Colour?

The sky is blue in clour because the air molecules scatter blue light much more than they do red or other lights. At sunset, the light travels through a thicker layer of the atmosphere, which removes much of the blue from the natural light, allowing the red to dominate.
