Abstract
A single parameter model of the mean Solar limb-darkening is presented . This empirical law has the advantage to represent the limb darkening over a large spectrum at least as well as a quadratic or logarithmic law. Since it is less sensitive than high degree polynomial laws, it i s recommended for subsequent analysis of average limb-darkening variat ions and comparisons.
