Is The Sun White, Yellow Or Gold?

[equaztion]

When i see pictures of yellow suns it baffles me because i see it white.

It does seem like it was yellow-gold when i was younger though but i really can't trust my memories like normal people can.

Post your answer.

 

[wooly willy]

all the colors of the spectrum together=white

yeah, white is my answer.....

[color= rgb(204, 0, 255)]wouldn't that make it some like dingy brownish color if you mixed all ofthat?[/color]

yellow

I don't look at the sun on purpose, but when she catches my eye, I see her as big and white....you're not the only one. I'd still color it yellowin any coloring book when I was young tho.

 

[equaztion]

Everyone look up into the sky real quick and tell me what color you see.

This has been in the back of my mind for quite some time.

My mom and brother says its yellow i just asked them as they came in the door.

...Okay That's 3 for White.

 

[josebronx]

it changes color sometimes, I have to say that it's black and purple with a white ring around it

 

[fifthname]

Hmmmmmm. I'd say white i guess.

 

[concordxl]

i say white

 

[miss kidd0]

what about red?

 

[jstar25]

White highest level of flame.... but it does have black spots.

 

[mvp07]

The shade differs as it rises and falls.

 

[mf doomer]

solar flares are yellow, dark spots are black. Overall it's yellow.

 

[ijumpmani]

well its a G2V star so I would assume that its yellow-whitish

 

[dgk3188]

light is a vibration.

there is no such thing as light.

the sun gives off vibrations.

and people call it light.

there is no such thing as light

 

[t i c a l]

It's white light, just looks yellow because of the rays being bent by gravity and it having to pass through the atmosphere.

**EDIT:

The Sun has a spectral class of G2V. G2 means that it has a surface temperature of approximately 5,780 K (5,500 C) giving it a white color that often, because of atmospheric scattering, appears yellow when seen from the surface of the Earth. This is a subtractive effect, as the preferential scattering of shorter wavelength light removes enough violet and blue light, leaving a range of frequencies that is perceived by the human eye as yellow. It is this scattering of light at the blue end of the spectrum that gives the surrounding sky its color. When the Sun is low in the sky, even more light is scattered so that the Sun appears orange or even red

No they're extremely bright just not as bright as the rest of the sun
