E line comparison table

Subject has specie has definition is a kind of has wavelength

Fraunhofer line Absorption line in the spectrum of the Sun, studied by Fraunhofer in 1814. The nine most prominent he labeled with capital letters (from the red end) A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. and K. The A band and B band are now known to be groups of telluric lines due to O₂ absorption in Earth's atmosphere, and C and F are respectively known as Hα and Hβ. absorption line

E line Fe I and Ca I Spectral line consisting of a blend of Fe I and Ca I. Fraunhofer line 5270 Å
