What would happen if the Sun emitted light in different colors?
Did you know that the sun contains all the colors of the light spectrum? When sunlight is reflected off water droplets in the air, it splits into different colored waves that we see as a rainbow. However, our eyes perceive the combination of all colors as white, which is why the sun appears white to us. The sun also has a yellowish hue when its rays are scattered in Earth's atmosphere, which is why we see sunsets as pink, orange, or red.
