Default The skylight is different from the direct solar light

Dear Antoniseb,
I do not consider that a significant fraction of the Sun's energy transmitted to Earth comes in the form of auroras, but I consider that a significant fraction of the skylight is generated as auroras. According to my postulates, a certain fraction of the direct solar light, irrespective of its ratio, is due to the global, daytime auroras.
I know that the highest temperature during the daytime could be recorded in the polar ionosphere wherein we find the greatest auroral activity due to the auroral electrojets.
