Is the Solar Radius a constant? Ground experiments show evidence of possible variations in the visual solar semi diameter that are correlated with the solar activity. Those measurements are limited by the Earth's atmospheric turbulance. It is importance to accurately determine the solar radius variations because of their implication for stellar structure and possible relation to the terrestrial climate. Here we report on data from a space experiment (MDI-SOHO) used to detect solar diameter fluctuations. We stabilish a superior limit for changes in the solar radius.
