Figure 1 Spectral radiance of skylight and direct sunlight for several solar elevations measured in Maryland and California. The radiance which is important in terms of retinal effects is very low for the blue sky as compared to the radiance of the sun itself even at sunset. Note the dramatic change in spectral radiance at 350 nm as a function of solar altitude (from Sliney, 1977).
