... out of which textbook? I've seen exteriors at 8000K at which Colour Temperature I needed gain in the camera. Well, the sun isn't that hot. You can get colour temperatures that high by filtering out the direct sunlight which has more of the red components (e.g. in the shade), and just using the blue light scattered in the atmosphere (i.e. the blue sky). Generally when people talk of midday colour temperature, it's the average ...

As I mentioned above I do believe that sunbeds are not as safe as they would have us believe. ***And I would agree with you but I believe them somewhat safer than direct sunlight. Something to do with two different types of UV rays.

...: being able to see the Sun confirms that the atmosphere is transparent to most radiation from the Sun...). This sunlight doesn't do much to warm the atmosphere initially ('cos the atmosphere is transparent in the visible range) so... out is that the heating source for the lower atmosphere is at the bottom - the ground warmed by incoming sunlight and emitting infra-red. This means that the air is hottest close to the ground, and so tends to ...
