I thought it was this

It's all colors so it's white

the atmosphere is blue, white - blue = yellow

>>9891448
It emits white light ,only appears yellow to us due to splitting of colors. If it wasnt a burning ball of gases it would look similar to jupiter or something.

>>9891481
>>9891492
So what's with the pictures showing it as a ball of fire?

>>9891503
Temp maybe

>>9891503
These are drawings

>>9891517
"A mass of plasma was photographed spinning above the sun's surface for more than two days in October 2010. At around the same time, the SDO observed a shorter-lived eruption, which blew away into space near the upper left edge of the sun."

These are NASA photographs, not drawings

>>9891530
This is colored with Photoshop

>>9891481
So... you meant that if you were in space and looked directly at the sun you would return to earth without eyeballs?

>>9891530
A lot of these photos are taken with filters so that they can see different features more easily.

so which is most real? also how does a filter give you a white circle when it should have those eruptions/ejections and stuff

>>9891577
White looks like what you would see with your eyes.

>>9891582
how? what about the ejections

>>9891590
The ejections aren't always there.

>>9891448
White in space, yellow on Earth

This is what the sun would look like in space if you look at it.

>>9891449

Every photo (literally) of the space objects you see is in false color.

>>9891984
Is Moon a space object? Is Earth a space object?

>It's all colors so it's white
Racist.

>>9891448
>>9891981
>It is a common misconception that the Sun is yellow, or orange or even red. However, the Sun is essentially all colors mixed together, which appear to our eyes as white

>>9891984
Everything you see is in false color. Color perception even varies slightly between your individual eyes. It's all subjective.

>>9892027
from http://solar-center.stanford.edu/SID/activities/GreenSun.html
which was literally the first result of the query "what color is the sun"

>>9891448
i was once told the sun is completely black(black star, black sun)
all we see are the reflections of its radiation(light) on objects be they camera lenses, atmospheres, the eye etc.
but in truth the sun is totally dark in colour
is there any truth to this?

>>9892038
Yes this is also why I say I’m black on job applications

The nonblack is merely light reflecting off of my skin

the sun is this color

>>9891992
lol

>>9891992
imagine being such an insensitive asshole

>>9892380
It's the sun! It has touched your dick woth it's photons several times before. Why would you be afraid?

>>9893690
I am naturally afraid of the cosmos, largely due to its sheer size and all the unknowns surrounding it. It makes me feel better knowing the qualities the celestial bodies in our system possess. Not having a clear answer as to what the sun looks like gives me some anxiety.

>>9891448
Sometimes when I catch the sun near the center of my vision I just see a black circle surrounded by glare for a split second. But I guess that's just my retina going "nope".

Its white because the brightness in the photo is turned up to 100

>ITT: not a single radiation curve
The majority of radiation is in the visible light band, of which yellow seems to be the predominant colour. But since it emits at all wavelengths of visible light, it appears white to our eyes.

>>9894871
Correction: I meant to say "radiation peak", not "majority of radiation".

>>9891448

Astronomy/Physics dual major here:

The Sun is white.

Blatantly wrong. Many of the images, and most of deep-space objects like galaxies, nebulae, etc are long-exposure images, but not all of them are false color. The false color images are used to differentiate between chemicals and/or elements present in those particular regions. But you can find plenty of images of say, Andromeda, that's just a long-exposure image still in the visible range. It's not what it looks like to the human eye, but it's not "False color," it's "Enhanced," so to speak. A brighter, more vibrant representation of what's actually there.

Plus saying that all space objects are given in false color is completely blown out the water by plenty of Voyager/Cassini/other probe images or telescope views of planets, moons, asteroids, comets, etc.

It's a step down transformer, converting the Galactic cores energy to Solar Radiation which then steps down to each planet into the form of visible light and heat. The Suns rays while in between Earth and it are mostly still UV or higher. Once the individual photons interact with matter they will spin down to a slower wavelength.


>>9891530
NASA photographs in what spectrum?
My guess, that is UV and Xray, converted to a visible color for our viewing pleasure, yes?
Gotta read the fine print on those "photographs"

>>9895504

>>9891981
I don't know why it's so surprising to OP, especially if you've ever seen metal warming up.

It goes orange, red, and finally white. "Red hot" is often used as a saying, but white hot is the hottest

>>9891448
White with a very slight green tint.

>>9891448
Blue. No, yel

So how do they take the close up photos of the mass ejections if the sun is so strong that it appears as a bright white ball?

>it scared me

The sun is made of white light cos all colors and apears yellow/orange to our camera's due to the varying factors such as the earth's atmosphere etc.

>>9891448
its green

>>9894871
This anon is correct
