Nobody ever said a word in their arguments here on BAUT about H
- being the cause of the solar blackbody spectrum. At least not in their arguments with me.
I dont believe that distance creates a blackbody spectrum in a thin plasma.
And you cant prove that it does in a lab on earth.
I know that a dense plasma will create a blackbody spectrum. Remember the bubble spectrum that was halfway between line and blackbody emission?
There is a difference between density and distance in a plasma, and how it affects a plasma.
I did not misinterpret papers. That paper says that H
- are responsible for the BB spectrum of the sun, and that density is normally responsible for a blackbody spectrum, except in the case of the sun.
I brought that paper up as evidence that density is the cause of blackbody spectrum, and that a thin plasma is not capable of generating a blackbody spectrum.
The 255K BB spectrum of the Earth is certainly not from it's surrounding atmosphere.
