The Sun might look yellow, but seen from space without an atmosphere filtering its light, the sun is actually white — and the yellow color we see from Earth is the result of our atmosphere scattering blue wavelengths away, in the same physics that makes the sky appear blue
The Sun is depicted as yellow in children’s drawings, in weather icons, on flags, and in the standard…

The surface of the Sun is around 5,500 degrees, but its outer atmosphere is more than a million degrees hotter, and after decades of work physicists still cannot fully explain how the cooler layer heats the one above it.
The visible surface of the Sun, the photosphere, sits at around 5,500 degrees Celsius. Its outer atmosphere, the…
