The sun is not white, it actually is a lot of different colours that then happen to look white. White is anyway a rather difficult colour to use as base if you want to show any detail.
The importance of your "misconception" is unclear to me, most people have seen the sun for themselves (though I expect all have been told not to look) and can tell the difference between the real thing and a picture of it.
- radarsat1 7y ago> a lot of different colours that then happen to look white. Seeing as white is just "full spectrum", that is literally just the definition of white. So yes, the sun is white.
- xorcist 7y agoBut it's not (evenly) full spectrum though, so why would it be white? I can understand either green (the blackbody peak) or red/yellow (as seen with human eyes through our atmosphere). Who would considered it white, apart from an astronaut?
