The Sun is the star we can observe with the highest spectral resolution and signal-to-noise. From studying the infrared spectrum we can learn about the Sun, about stars in general, and about atomic and molecular spectroscopy. We discuss the computer programs for spectrum synthesis, the infrared flux and central intensity atlases of the solar spectrum, and the atomic and molecular line data. Considerable work is still required to improve the observations and to improve the line data.
