How about meeting me part way at least and acknolwedging that we can't yet see every kind of solar emmision (neutrinos) with any sort of precision. We certainly don't know what other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum might affect us that we know little or nothing about. What is that 22 year solar cycle all about?
The bottom line Baloo is that we can't just assume we are going to see each element represented equally. That is the assumption of any method that attempts to link the reception of some kinds of photons with the full composition of a solar body.

I didn't said anything about spectrometry, solar cycle, absorption by other bodies or our capabilities to detect or not the emitted radiation. How about take one issue at a time, settle it and then proceed to the next one?
It is a simple question:
Do you agree that any body from our solar system having a temperature above 0° Kelvin is emitting photons, regardless of its chemical composition?
Note: to be fair I don't know how and if the notion of temperature applies to everything that exists in the visible universe (one possible exception that comes to my mind being a black hole). So I'll restrain the adresability of my question to the bodies existing in our solar system.
