What kind of spectra is produced by the light from the sun?

The light from the Sun produces a continuous spectrum, which appears as a smooth gradient of colors from red to violet. This spectrum is primarily due to the thermal radiation emitted by the Sun's surface, which behaves like a blackbody radiator at a temperature of about 5,500 degrees Celsius. Additionally, the Sun’s spectrum contains dark absorption lines, known as Fraunhofer lines, which occur when specific wavelengths of light are absorbed by elements in the Sun's atmosphere. These lines provide valuable information about the Sun's composition and the physical conditions in its outer layers.
