What color is the sun / sunlight?

It is white but loses blues as it passes through the atmosphere, so the Sun appears as yellow when overhead. The appearance of the Sun changes hue as it is viewed through different layers and thicknesses of the atmosphere.

Atsunset over ty ocean in th tropics, it will even appear green momentari

Depends. Eastern sun is more white, western sun more yellow.

It is mostly infrared.

The sun appears yellow due to its temperature. It’s color is an indication of the rate of fusion at its core and both are determined by its overall mass. The whole show is gravity driven.

In the brightest hours of the day. I would say the sun is a blinding bright white with I hint of yellow. it’s so beautiful that is forbidden to look at unless you have a really strong pair of sunglasses.

This is a good question that nobody has really answered. If the sun appears yellow due to filtering of blue light by the atmosphere, then shouldn’t sunlight also be yellow? Everything that we look at should have a yellow tinge.

What is baffling to me is, sunlight appears warm and ‘yellowish’ compared to more pale white spectrums, which seem more ‘white.’ Yet sunlight is far, far whiter than the whitest halogen light we can produce.

As suns go, it’s yellow. Suns are rated by color to depict how hot they are. A blue sun is hotter, a red sun is colder.

Unless they are blue shifted or red shifted.

@Yellowdog No, that does not change their actual color. That’s just the apparent color based upon the velocity towards or away from the observer.

Well, they could be coming and going.
