For the first time, the experimental curve of growth for the Sun as a star has been constructed in the Milne-Eddington approximation, basing on the Fe I lines. The cleanest 280 Fe I lines in the spectral region from λ4000 Å to λ7000 Å have been used. The equivalent widths have been taken from the works of Rutten and van der Zalm who had published a list of 602 clean (unblended) lines in the spectrum of the Sun as a star from Becker et al.'s atlas. Kostyk's system of absolute oscillator strengths was used. The velocity of microturbulent motion (vm = 1±0.3 km/s), excitation temperature (Tex = 5360±70K) and iron abundance (lg NFe = 7.57±0.10) in the photosphere of the Sun as a star were determined.
