I hope I don't sound too argumentative, because I really don't actually care too much about the exact color of sunlight. But I think this is a diagram from earth's perspective. It has these dents in the longer wavelengths where certain frequencies get absorbed by elements it traveled through, and the UV is filtered out. Both indicators it went through the atmosphere.
