>most of the energy from the sun (where green is the dominant wavelength) That's actually a common misconception that even some older physics textbooks get wrong. You could argue with the same logic (and the same math, just using the frequency domain black body description) that the peak output of the sun is in the infrared. But the truth is that there is no such thing as a dominant wavelength in a continuous density distribution spectrum.
