Which layer of the sun radiates light?
That would be an outer layer called the, "Photosphere".
Why you see white clouds?
(it reflects on the suns light.) just like the sun, we see it in a yellow or orange color but the reason why the sun is yellow is because it is the brightest light ever.
What color is the sun actually?
The sum emits light on many different frequencies including that of all colours and also invisible frequencies like ultra-violet, microwave etc.When the visible light from the sun is examined, the light peaks at the frequency for yellow meaning the sun emits more yellow than all other colours. Since the light is not even amongst all colours then it makes the sun not white but yellow. Kind of like a classic light-bulb.This is why our sun is called a Yellow Dwarf Star.
What gives moon its light?
Because at night it functions as a mirror for the sun. It's like this: You -------> (watch in this direction) ----> Moon (mirroring the sunlight in your eye) -------------------------------------- ..................^ Earth (blocks the sun) ............................../ .............................................................../ ............................................................/ ........................................................./ ....................................................../ ..................................................Sun (forget about the dots, that's just to position the lines because I can't type spaces in this drawing)
Why is the full moon yellow?
The FULL MOON is yellow because it reflects off the sun. When the sun sets and the moon rises, only the full moon can be yellow because of the location of the sun and the moon
What are the caues of ultraviolet light?
It is a form of light that radiates from the sun.
Why is the sun yelow?
It isn't, not really. Scientists sometimes call our Sun a "yellow star" to differentiate it from the dimmer red or (even dimmer) brown dwarf stars, or the much larger and brighter blue giants. But the light from the Sun is as "white" as can be, because it radiates all colors.
Name a huge gas sphere that radiates light?
The Sun.
What radiates most of the sunlight we see?
The photosphere of the sun emits visible light.

Why is the rising sun red?
The sun radiates as a black body, meaning that it radiates light at all wavelengths including blue, red, orange, yellow, green, UV, Infrared, etc. Obviously humans can only see the visible light from the sun. When the sun is on the horizon, the light coming to us from the sun, due to the angle it hits the atmosphere, must go through a much thicker atmosphere than if it were right above. At an angle of about 10 degrees, or the height of a rising sun, it must pass through the equivalent of 11 atmospheres. Due to properties of the atmosphere blue light is reflected much more than red light, and red light can penetrate farther into the atmosphere before being reflected away. Thus the light from the sun at the horizon looks red because the red light can reach us but the other light such as blue gets reflected away before it reaches us.
Does fusion produce light?
The sun is powered by nuclear fusion, and the resulting hot material in the sun and specifically on its surface radiates visible light along with other frequencies.
How does the light travel from the sun?
It radiates outwards in all directions at about 300,000 kilometres per second. A tiny percentage of that light reaches our earth about eight minutes after leaving the sun.
Why is they sun yellow but the earth not?
The sun is yellow because it is actually a star... and stars are actually a big ball of fire, and since fire is yellow that would explain why the sun is yellow... Earth isn't yellow because it isn't a star nor is it on fire... it is blue because it is more than 75% water, and it is green and light gold because there are plants grass and sand on the other 25%...
Use radiates in a sentence?
the sun has many radiates. that's cool. :)
Is the sun the sky's light?
No, it is not. The sun radiates UV rays (Ultra Violet) which bounce off of objects, or is absorbed by them such as the colour black, and reaches our eyes so that we can see them. The sun lights things up, it is not the light of anything but itself. Yes. The light we perceive as the sky's light does originate in the sun.
