 Hey, the example image of the sun's spectral lines in the description is just a tetch too big. I can't see it all at once, but if I set my zoom to 90%, I can see all of it just fine. I tried to resize it, but I'm not sure it worked. Feel free to revert it or fix it if you know how. [[User:NotLock|NotLock]] ([[User talk:NotLock|talk]]) 05:55, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

	The idea of the sun wearing transitions lenses became even more silly when I did a little research and found that the silver chloride that they often make transitions lenses with actually has a lower melting point (455°C) than glass itself typically has (1400°C to 1600°C.) I'm not sure that this has any relevance, but I was trying to find a plausible connection between the fabrication of transitions lenses as opposed to standard lenses and the use a sun (a sentient sun) might have for them.

-:[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_spectroscopy#Absorption_spectrum According to Wikipedia], absorption lines occur because solar radiation from the sun’s [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun#Photosphere photosphere] is absorbed at frequencies that match the energy difference between two quantum mechanical states of electrons bound to atoms or molecules. The absorption that occurs due to this transition between two states is referred to as an absorption line and a spectrum is typically composed of many lines. In the case of an atom, absorption typically occurs when an electron is boosted from a less energetic inner orbital to a more energetic outer orbital thereby absorbing a photon. Emission spectra are due to the opposite process.

The absorption that occurs due to the transition between these two states is referred to as an absorption line and a spectrum is typically composed of many lines. These lines are dark because the light at those frequencies has been absorbed. In the case of an atom, absorption typically occurs when an electron is boosted from a less energetic inner orbital to a more energetic outer orbital in the process of absorbing a photon of light. Emission spectra are due to the opposite process.
 :Please consider the possibility that the title text mention of Transitions may hinge on the absorption process's quantum state transitions. [[User:Run, you clever boy|Run, you clever boy]] ([[User talk:Run, you clever boy|talk]]) 18:37, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

 I think he's referring to the spectral lines of transition metals - not pictures of the sun wear glasses. The transition lenses reference is a play on words.
