I've added a spectrum for air even though it is not strictly an absorption spectrum. Sometimes you hear people claim that air is blue, but really it depends on angle; it turns transmitted light orange and redirects the blue other directions. Right now this only shows the former. I'm not sure if it would be of interest to try coding something to show the scattered light too.
