A Sun outage is an interruotion in or distortion of geostationary satellite signals caused by interference from solar radiation.The effect is due to the sun's radiation overwhelming the satellite signal.At these times,the apparent path of the sun across the sky takes it directly behind the line of sight between an earth station and a satellite .As the sun radiates strongly at the microwave frequencies used to communicate with satellite ( c band and k band),the sun swaps the signal from the satellite.The effect of a sunoutage can include partial degration,that is an increse in the error rate,or total destruction of the signal.

In India the BSE and NSE use VSATs ( Very Small Aperture Terminal)for members to connect to their trading system.VSATs depend upon satellites for connectivity between the terminals.Hence these exchanges are affected due to the sun outage. So exchanges normally remain closed from 11:45 to 12:30 deu to sun outage for some week.This times vary depending on the scientific factor.

CARBON CREDITS

Carbon credits create a market for reducing greenhouse emissions by giving a monetary value to the cost of polluting the air.Emissions become an internal cost of doing business and are visible on the balance sheet alongside raw materials and other liablities or assets.

By way of example,consider a business that owns a factory putting out 1,00,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions in a year.Its government is an annex 1 country that enacts a law to limit the emmisions that the business can produce so the factory is given a quota of say 80,000 tonnes per year.The factory either reduces its emmissions to 80,000 tonnes or is required to purchase carbon credits to offset the excess.

And a carbon credit seller may have already invested in new low emission machinary and have a surplus of allowances as a result.The factory could make up for its emissions by buying 20,000 tonnes of allowances from them.The cost of the seller,s new machinery would be subsidized by the sale of allowances.Both the buyer and the seller would submit accounts for their emmissions to prove that their allowances were met correctly.
