| − | :[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_spectroscopy#Absorption_spectrum According to Wikipedia], absorption lines occur because solar radiation within the sun’s [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun#Photosphere photosphere] is absorbed at frequencies that match the energy difference between two quantum mechanical states of electrons bound to atoms or molecules. The absorption that occurs due to the transition between these two states is referred to as an absorption line and a spectrum is typically composed of many lines. These lines are dark because the light at those frequencies has been absorbed. In the case of an atom, absorption typically occurs when an electron is boosted from a less energetic inner orbital to a more energetic outer orbital in the process of absorbing a photon of light. Emission spectra are due to the opposite process.

| | I think he's referring to the spectral lines of transition metals - not pictures of the sun wear glasses. The transition lenses reference is a play on words. | | I think he's referring to the spectral lines of transition metals - not pictures of the sun wear glasses.

| | And perhaps we should acknowledge John Finnemore's terrific sketch about J M W Turner painting sunglasses on the sun (transcribed here: http://j-f-s-p.livejournal.com/5403.html). {{unsigned ip|141.101.70.49}} | | And perhaps we should acknowledge John Finnemore's terrific sketch about J M W Turner painting sunglasses on the sun (transcribed here: http://j-f-s-p.livejournal.com/5403.html). {{unsigned ip|141.101.70.49}} |

| − | Given that all the lines for the sunglasses are in the red-orange spectrum I took it as a joke about glasses <a href=https://www.google.com/search?q=orange+wraparound&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=orange+wrap+around+glasses>similar to these.</a> Sorry I can't find the exact model I've seen in ads from the early 90s of wraparound over regular glasses that were orangish (old style Blue Blockers.)

| − | The idea of the sun wearing transitions lenses became even more silly when I did a little research and found that the silver chloride that they often make transitions lenses with actually has a lower melting point (455°C) than glass itself typically has (1400°C to 1600°C.) I'm not sure that this has any relevance, but I was trying to find a plausible connection between the fabrication of transitions lenses as opposed to standard lenses and the use a sun (a sentient sun) might have for them.

| − | Hey, the example image of the sun's spectral lines in the description is just a tetch too big. I can't see it all at once, but if I set my zoom to 90%, I can see all of it just fine. I tried to resize it, but I'm not sure it worked. Feel free to revert it or fix it if you know how. [[User:NotLock|NotLock]] ([[User talk:NotLock|talk]]) 05:55, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

| − | :I have loaded a smaller version of the image from Wikipedia. Hope this workd, because with you edit the image did not show at all. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 11:43, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

| − | ::Thanks! I think I tried to do a similar thing 6ish months ago, and it worked, but the image took time to render to a different size if I recall correctly (which I might not be doing at all). I googled "Wikipedia markup, and tried to follow the instructions there, but evidently it didn't work. Thanks for taking the time to fix this! {{unsigned|NotLock}}

| − | My impression, before reading the comments, was that "those giant sunglasses" referred to those giant novelty sunglasses that are usually used as a silly prop. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.186.30|162.158.186.30]] 16:35, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
