So-called standard solar models are computed under the simplest assumptions about the macroscopic state that are consistent with observation. Aspects of 'standard' solar evolution are discussed along with questions regarding the choice of an appropriate standard, the solar neutrino problem, solar oscillations, the variations of the solar luminosity, and the solar cycle. It is found that standard solar models are apparently a good approximation to the gross structure of the sun. They can be constructed to reproduce the observed solar luminosity and radius, and with a chemical composition that is not considered abnormal by most astrophysicists they can reproduce quite well the frequencies of the five minute oscillations, for modes of both high and low degree. The only severe point of disagreement might be the neutrino flux, but the theoretical predictions of that flux are presently in doubt.
