What is the colour of magnesium when heated?

When magnesium is heated, it typically burns with a bright white flame and produces a brilliant white light. The metal itself appears silvery-gray in its solid state, but when ignited, it emits a bright, intense white light due to the formation of magnesium oxide. This reaction can produce a dazzling display, often used in flares and fireworks.

When encountering vessels in the darkness what do visible white and green lights indicate?

In maritime navigation, visible white lights indicate a vessel's masthead light or stern light, while green lights signify the starboard side of a vessel. When encountering another vessel in darkness, if you see a green light, it means the vessel is approaching from your right side. Conversely, a visible white light could suggest that you are either approaching the stern of the vessel or that it is facing you. Understanding these light signals helps in determining the direction and movement of nearby vessels to avoid collisions.
