Mmm yeah, I remember doing this a long time ago, but now I can't remember the exact words to define it. I searched dictionary.com, wikipedia, and even search engines, I've got some short-answers, but i have to try to put it into two sentences.

You mean meaning. It's not a technical terms so much as three words, all of which have precise definitions. It means the total rate of energy emission (aka power) from the sun. The sun emits energy principally by radiation and high velocity particles. That's not per unit area, or just onto earth - the whole sun.

Measurements of the solar energy flux (electromagnetic radiation and the emission of charged particles) and understanding its variability are essential since they provide important information about the physical processes and structural changes taking place below, in, and above the photosphere. In addition to the astrophysical importance of the solar energy flux measurements, these measurements are important for solar- terrestrial physics.
