Yes, the sun appears yellow to us on Earth because its light is scattered by the Earth's atmosphere, causing shorter-wavelength light (blue and violet) to be dispersed more than longer-wavelength light (yellow, orange, and red). In space, the sun emits light across a spectrum of colors, with the majority being in the visible range.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Why sun called luminous?
The Sun is called luminous because it emits light and heat through a process called nuclear fusion in its core. This process produces energy that radiates outwards, making the Sun the most prominent source of light in our solar system.
Why is the sun white?
The sun appears white when viewed from space because it emits all colors of light, which combine to create white light. However, when the sun's light passes through the Earth's atmosphere, it can appear yellow, orange, or red due to scattering of shorter wavelengths of light by particles in the atmosphere.
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.
Which layer of the sun radiates light?
That would be an outer layer called the, "Photosphere".
What two things does the sun radiate?
The sun radiates light and heat energy.
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 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.
Why does the sun appear yellow?
The sun appears yellow because its light is made up of different colors, and the Earth's atmosphere scatters shorter wavelengths like blue and violet, making the sun's light appear more yellow to us.
Why sun called luminous?
The Sun is called luminous because it emits light and heat through a process called nuclear fusion in its core. This process produces energy that radiates outwards, making the Sun the most prominent source of light in our solar system.
Why isn't the sun blue?
The sun appears yellow because its light is made up of different colors, and the Earth's atmosphere scatters the blue light more than other colors, making the sun appear yellow to 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.
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.
