Experiment no: 1 Experiment name: Sunshine duration calculator Theory: A sunshine recorder is a device that records the amount of sunshine at a given location. It measures the duration of bright sunshine and calculates the total hour of solar irradiance in a day. This data is collected over a period of time and averaged to get an idea of total solar irradiance in a given season and get the meteorological idea about the location. Cambel-Stockes sun-shine recorder is an ideal instrument that
