Abstract
The solar spectrum conveys most of our diagnostics to find out how our star works. They must be understood for utilization, but solar spectrum formation is complex because the interaction of matter and radiation within the solar atmosphere suffers non-local control in space, wavelength, and time. These complexities are summarized and illustrated with classic literature. They combine in chromospheric spectrum formation.
