LIVE Techno – The sun appears as a whitish-yellow light when it is overhead and redder when it is over the horizon. But actually the colors of the giants are more complex and difficult than it might at first sound.
The star of the solar system emits light in all visible colors of the electromagnetic spectrum equally. When these coalesce in the sunlight, the celestial body appears white. This is useful because if the balance is thrown off, the less favorable color will be difficult to see.
The sun is officially classified as a yellow dwarf or G2 V star. G2 refers to the second hottest of the yellow G class stars with surface temperatures between about 5,300 K and 6,000 K.
The V on this label represents a main sequence star or a hydrogen-burning dwarf star. In terms of mass, the Sun is at the top end of this star classification, according to the Space website, Tuesday, May 16, 2023.
When astronomers observe the Sun, they do so over a range of wavelengths of light —or electromagnetic radiation—including visible and invisible light to the naked eye.
These images of the Sun in invisible light are often reproduced in visible colors not normally associated with the Sun. That is, it really is a rainbow of exotic colored pictures of our star representing observations in different wavelengths of light.
Understanding the color of the Sun is tied to our understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum and these different wavelengths.
