High precision measurements of photometric variability among solar type stars have now been made since 1980. These observations clearly show that year-to-year brightness variations connected with magnetic activity are a widespread phenomenon among such stars. They also suggest that the Sun’s potential for long-term white light variability may be significantly understated by measurements of solar total irradiance during the 1980s.
