Are you okay over there?
“Every object emits a wave of energy, the portion of this that we can see by the human eye is called the electromagnetic spectrum also called "visible light". There are other forms of waves, but we cannot see those in the air. When you calculate the suns wavelength or visible light, it emits energy around 500 nm, which is close to blue-green on the visible light spectrum. So that means the sun is actually green! “
We see it as yellow, but up close its white, and without any atmospheric interference it would look green.

Good thing you went Anon..
I often wonder if everyone's colors are the same. Why? I don't know. I'm friggen weird.
For example, you are told a banana is yellow. Great. But do other people see it as your yellow, or do they see it as red? All they know is someone told them this is "yellow". Someone could hand you a sheet of paper and say "This is white". But maybe what is white to that person is seen as blue by the person they told. We'll never know.
I need a life, I guess.

Who decided things should be called what they are? In other words, why is a car called a car and not a pencil?Anonymous 3 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2023 3:16 pm I often wonder if everyone's colors are the same. Why? I don't know. I'm friggen weird.

Car comes from the Latin word carrus, which refers to a wheeled vehicle. That’s why car is also the beginning of the words cart and carriage. All words have an origin.mater-three wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2023 7:24 pmWho decided things should be called what they are?
