Right that was a fact check error. I thought I corrected that with NOAA Space Weather quote up above. Copy/ paste below. I defer all to you in this arena, so if this data is still incorrect please let me know, Tom-san. Thanks for making sure I got it right and Thank You for keeping it technical.
Most of the energy from the Sun is emitted in the visible wavelengths (approximately 400 – 800 nanometers (nm)). The output from the sun in these wavelengths is nearly constant and changes by only one part in a thousand (0.1%) over the course of the 11-year solar cycle."
At 400 to 800nm UV sunlight should be passing through the ozone layer.
I thought I read somewhere a few years back that the sun was in a warming trend this 11 year cycle.
Super interesting about ozone opaqueness, I suppose ozone health would play into that. My limited understanding is that Carbon emissions and resultant high concentrations of nitrogen NOX could impact the level of opacity?
