Abstract: A model based on the modified version of Gaussian distribution function has been proposed to estimate the clear day global radiation. The model fits very well on the recorded data which is further exploited to develop a relationship between the ratio of hourly to daily global radiation and day length (time between sunrise to sunset). This has helped us to calculate the distribution of the broad-band global radiation on any clear day of the year.
