We Were Wrong, The Sun is Not WHITE, or yellow!

If you're standing on the Earth, Sun appears yellow as the blue light gets scattered by the atmosphere. But if you're above the atmosphere, in the space; Sun would appear white, since there's no atmosphere. But that's not its actual color. Let's look at Sun's radiation graph to find out.

I make educational videos on some of the most fascinating scientific topics.

And yet at night when we look up at the stars they look white, not orange. Strange. 🤷👍

"That's not the actual color that's just how our eyes see it"

Color is defined by how the human eye sees it...

[VarunDubey-soev]

Just have a question "What if I hypothetically stood very near the sun's surface, then what colour would I see?"

Btw, the background music sounded like watching a horror movie 😂

Why they didn't teach this to us when I was in elementary.

Space can be pretty amazing to explore we learn a lot from it to be honest

As someone looking at the sun directly using GBEX 90X Zoom Land and Sky View Telescope i can confirm this is true

After all it's Interesting to know that the white light produces 7 seven colours, so the sun.

Seeing Sun On White or yellow
Is The Best becuase When We See Objects We Can See The Actual Color

Oh, you have to know when you see the sun in space It’s looks white however, that’s only for human visions

The peak doesn't matter. It's all about the 'volume' of colors. Imagine 3 buckets of blue + 2 buckets of red + 2 buckets of yellow. Would you expect the result to be blueish because of the peak?

[ChrisXVII-nh]

So its means every stars we see is not white/yellow/red 😱

The sun switched up from being a blood to a 60's crip

[raajasmulye]

Imagine seeing green or blue light on Earth's surface 🤔

[shortlyforannaa]

Oh WOW! i actually never knew that the sun is green!!! i really enjoy your content Mr Scientific!! thank you for the information!!!

[bjtaudio]

its white with lots of uv and blue and some green tint, the huge peak of blue and uv is also very destructive to you're eye site. The blue light scatters into the atmosphere and its a blue sky created, leaving a white/yellow sun.

[samantharichardson]

wait the world the land is green and water is blue??

[Cheesaloaf]

During noon you can see carefully at the sunny sky the sun is actually white.

[kenzoyt]

sun is actually more likely to be orange than blue green since it is about to star his red giant phase
cause sun is like 4.6billion years old and at 5billion years old the phase start

[redhattoons]

Them: green stars can't exist
Sun: yah keep telling yourself that kid...
