Abstract
The effect of blanketing on the structure of the solar atmosphere has been investigated by computing a (physically impossible) model solar atmosphere with variable net flux of energy such as would result if the absorption in spectral lines were to cease while retaining the actual temperature distribution of the solar atmosphere. Pecker's ( Ann. d'Ap ., 14 , 152, 1951) values of the fraction η absorbed in spectral lines have been taken as the basis for these investigations. The investigations give a temperature drop above the level of mean optical depth τ =0.088 and a rise of up to 225 degrees below this level.
