Abstract Analysis of the radiometric record of the total solar irradiance obtained over the past ten years has revealed characteristic variations caused by sunspots and faculae, the magnetic network, and also the sun's internal oscillations and photospheric convection. Our physical understanding of the variations caused by spots and faculae in active regions is discussed in this review, and the results are applied to interpretation of recently discovered solar irradiance changes over time scales of several months to most of an 11 year activity cycle.
