Abstract We discuss the effect of the uncertainties affecting the opacities on the derived characteristics of the Sun. We consider two sources of uncertainty: the relative composition of the Sun at birth and the difference between two opacity calculations. As an illustration, we discuss the effect of the choice of photospheric or meteoritic iron abundance on the predicted chlorine neutrino capture rate and present comparisons between the Los Alamos and Limeil opacity calculations.
