Simulated values of the solar brightness change caused by umbral (black curves), penumbral (blue), and facular (red) feature covering one ppt (part per thousand) of the visible solar surface as functions of the feature position on the visible solar disc. We use axes with different scales for the brightness changes associated with spot and facular features. Solid (dotted) curves correspond to the brightness changes as they would be seen by Kepler (CoRoT).
