Since its effective temperature, surface gravity and chemical composition are well established, the Sun has often been used for tests of model stellar photospheres. There are two important potential tests – firstly, comparisons of observed and calculated line spectra and, secondly, comparisons of observed and calculated fluxes. If solar model calculations can successfully reproduce both of these data sets, then it gives confidence in the quality of models of other cool stars. However, different observations of solar fluxes do not agree with one another with the precision required in testing solar models.
