a
Edit: The question is very mixed up, but I think I get the idea.
It's obviously an emission spectrum.
Because it is a high density gas the spectrum should be CONTINUOUS.

What are examples of atomic absorption spectroscopy?
When white light from mercury vapour lamp is passed through sodium vapour then we have as outcome a continuous spectrum of colours with two black lines in the yellow-orange region. These two lines stand for the absorption of 5890 A and 5896 A lines of sodium atom Another example is Fraunhofer lines seen in the continuous spectrum got from sun. These lines are due to absorption of characteristic frequencies of metals present in the chromosphere of the sun
What happens to the light that is missing in an absorption spectrum?
it is absorbed by atoms in the cool low density cloud and then remitted in all different directions as a continuous spectrum
Analysis of the of a star reveals the composition of the star?
That's done by analyzing the star's spectrum.
What Physical properties could be used in the method of continuous variation?
temperature, color change, precipitate formed
What is the Homosphere?
The homosphere is the portion of the earth's atmosphere, up to an altitude of about 50 miles above sea level, in which there is continuous turbulent mixing, and hence the composition of the atmosphere is relatively constant; as opposed to the heterosphere or exosphere, the higher regions in which the composition becomes stratified
What can be determined by studying a solar spectrum?
Dark lines of the absorption spectrum give the elemental composition of the chromosphere, information about the magnetic field and density of the surface. The peak of the continuous spectrum gives the surface temperature. The Doppler Effect shows the movement of the sun and the sun's surface. Splitting of spectral lines verifies the magnetism of sunspots.
Is temperature discrete or continuous?
Temperature is generally considered to be continuous. However, at the particle level of physics ,energy is believed to be made of discrete particles, so in actuality temperature may not be continuous but jumps in quantum amounts when temperature changes.
Is weather considered discrete or continuous?
Weather is continuous as the temperature can be 29.2 degrees.
Can a scientist identify a star's composition by looking at its continuous spectrum?
the star's color
Is temperature an example of continuous variable?
Yes. It is a continuous variable. As used in probability theory, it is an example of a continuous random variable.
Why can't carbon dating be used on living organisms?
The process of carbon-14 absorption is still continuous.
What is an example of continuous quantitative variable?
temperature
Is temperature is continuous or discrete variables?
Temperature is continuous. Think about it. You may be only able to tell to the nearest tenth of a degree, but that is just due to your thermometer's accuracy. It can be anywhere in between two temperature values.
What is a device which provides a continuous record of the temperature?
thermometer
What sites can be used to measure core temperature?
Tympanic and rectal... and in recent years, monitoring of urinary bladder temperature has become more common. Temperature-sensing indwelling urinary catheters allow continuous drainage of urine and continuous measurement of body temperature.
What instrument makes a continuous automatic temperature record?
thermopile
Does the Sun produce a continuous spectrum or an absorption spectrum?
The photosphere of the sun doesn't really produce a continuous spectrum; there are discontinuities corresponding to energy levels of various chemical elements, called spectral lines. Notably Helium was discovered in the absorption lines of the solar spectrum and only later discovered on Earth.
