Near the limb of the solar disk, the positions of the Fraunhofer lines are shifted toward the red end of the spectrum, compared with their positions at the center of the disk. A possible explanation for this limb effect is the energy loss of the light, when it accelerates unbound electrons in the chromosphere. An even larger redshift is expected when light travels a longer distance in the chromosphere close to solar limb. This difference should be easily detectable during the next solar eclipse.
