Comment on Sun's surface seen in new detailparentComments−radarsat16ya 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.−xorcist6yBut 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?
