Which planet opaque atmosphere keeps this planet hot?

What kind of spectrum is used to determine the composition of a planet's atmosphere?

dark line spectrum


What are dark lines in a stellar spectrum called?

The dark lines are absorption spectrum, the energy absorbed by Atoms in the atmosphere of the star. ================================ Fraunhofer's spectral lines.


What is a basic difference between sunlight and natural light?

Raw sunlight composed of wide range of electro-magentic spectrum this include infrared spectrum (far left) to gammy ray spectrum (far right). Earth's atmosphere and magnetic shield filter most of the harmful far right spectrum and only allows upto Ultra Violet range. This resulting in natural light. So I guess you can say natural light is what ever sunlight that gets passed through the atmosphere and the magnetic shield. However, we gets to see only a small portion of the spectrum of natural light called visible spectrum. There are lot of different behavior within the electro-magnetic spectrum. Some waves bounch off the atmosphere and ground and it is used for radar. Some waves curve around objects and we call it radio.


How radiation from the sun penetrates the atmosphere by heating the air?

Solar radiation penetrates most of the atmosphere and is mostly absorbed by earth's surface. The surface then radiates energy of a different wavelength (in the thermal infrared part of the spectrum, which we perceive as heat) back to the atmosphere, heating the lower atmosphere.
