The following is a somewhat condensed version of discussions previously given elsewhere (Spruit, 1991, 1992). Some new developments not discussed there are presented in sections 4 and 5.

Since the observed irradiance variations are so clearly associated with manifestations of the solar magnetic field, I focus here on magnetic causes. Much of the physics of irradiance variations, however, is governed by the thermal response of the convective envelope and this response is similar for other possible causes of irradiance variations.
