Wow! the ultimate throw monster,but not quite a pocket rocket!!!
The sun does look yellow though due to the brain's ability to white-balance, in contrast with the bluer sky. However, if the sun is compared to artificial light sources, it is almost always "cooler". At most times of the day, for example, even "cool white" fluorescent lamps that are on either outside, or near a window, look yellowish compared to their surroundings. Incan lamps are a very strong "peach" color when visible in broad daylight.Ra said:The sun is yellow because of the absorbtion in the atmosphere: It absorbs more blue than red.. Thats why the sun becomes red when its about to set..

Here is a wikipedia on the classification of stars, including one by temperature. According to the chart "white" stars would actually appear significantly bluish, and "blue" stars emit mostly UV.EricB said:So if the sun is really that white, what are "white" stars (like white dwarfs), then?
White dwarfs I believe are similar to our sun in color, the difference is that Are they really bluish, and therefore appear to us "whiter" than the sun? I have heard that "blue" stars are the color of the highest color temperature LED's.
How Many Lumens Does the Sun Produce
Hm...,
3. Can we produce light that is as bright, or brighter than the sun?
.
Yea, but just look at how YELLOW the SUN is!
I will wait for the LED version to come out, now THAT will be bright!
I'm not happy with the quality of light from this sun, it's too far into the yellow range. I prefer a warm white or at least a cool white, do you have any info on when the sun will offer those options? I don't know what their marketing people are thinking only coming out with a yellow-white and trying to stick with it for like billions of years.
