Abstract

Abstract
This current study drives at relying on remote sensing climate date issued by NASA regarding direct solar radiation, in addition to a field monitoring data for direct solar radiation using solar radiation power meter, and land sat 7 satellite data for the years (2000, 2010, and 2020) to monitor and analyze the development of the agricultural patch. The research tackles with the impact of the astronomical location on the distribution of direct solar radiation and its role in the economic cost and economic return of some agricultural crops, in addition to the development of the agricultural patch and the optimal use of solar energy; predicting as well, of the potential change of agricultural growth. The research also deals with the economic feasibility of applying solar energy in agricultural development, and doing a study on the degree of preference for agricultural areas suitable for reclamation in the Nasser lake area
