Why is the sun now white? It was yellow once.

wouldn't co2 make is less visibly bright? Hmm...? Your logic seems a bit fuzzy..although I am no expert either...

It's white, no question. Look at the sun reflected in a car windshield, even on a hazy day it's white, it has changed.

Definitely whiter and brighter for at least the past 2 days. What's going on?

Ok here are some recent sunsets from Shell Beach CA.

You tell me what color is the sun.

I have thought the same thing. Something has been different for a while now. Perhpaps it is related to the deep solar minimum.

I notice sunset and sunrise are always obscured by haze, cloud smears, or just covered right over... for the past few years at least.

Yea if you get it on the horizon it's going to be orange.

But yes, clearly a visible change I can see it when the sun is overhead. Much of the yellow has gone away and it's much more whitish.

Anyone who says otherwise is disinfo because it's obvious...all you have to do is look up at mid-day

No doubt RiBS! I've been watching the sun for most of my life and something is definitely happening. The full moons here have been spectacular lately.......and the moon looks so white! Imagine that.

When I was a kid the moon had dark areas on it. Now it's almost like a flash light shining into your eyes. The freaky thing is almost nobody will acknowledge the difference. Strange times we live in.

Yeah, It is different like that lately.

I heard that bro.

I have observed (for a couple of years) the moon to be considerably brighter than it was about 40 years ago. In addition, I now live in the city yet it appears much brighter than when I was a child in the country. Should it not appear dimmer in city light, just as you see fewer stars in a city setting as opposed to a rural setting.

The moon is now so bright it actually hurts to look at it for too long a period of time.

agreed, it is very strange that more people don't notice how bright white the sun has become.

That's not the only thing that's changed. When you were a kid and you drew pictures with crayons, how did you draw the sky? A stripe of blue along the top of the page and the rest left blank, right? Well, look at the sky now. Barring cloud cover, it's blue all the way down to the horizon!

Where did the blank bit go?

Maybe THAT'S what all the chemtrails are trying to cover up!

Anyway, I'm glad the Sun's white nowadays.

I mean, remember when it was yellow, and the light it gave was yellow? Well, of course the colours of everything in the world were all different, because they were in a coloured light! The only way you can see that now is by going out under yellow streetlights, or a yellow Christmas party light or something like that.

Now we have white light, and so you can go out in daylight and see all kinds of colours. You didn't used to be able to do that because everything was all yellow in the yellow sunlight. I remember walking home from the shop with a new picture-book, leafing through it on the way, and then being amazed at the difference when I got it home and read it under white light from a bulb...

But kids these days don't have to. They can see all the beautiful colours of the world without having to find a source of white light, because the Sun does it for them now! I'm happy for them, and I wish it had been that way when I was young, instead of everything being yellow like it was then.

That is true. The darkish areas defined what we called the 'man in the moon'.
I had forgotten about that.

And Mars is ENORMOUS right now. Looks like a tangerine up there in the sky.

if one was hovering at an angle to the sun, or perhaps had a mini sun in their toilet i ponder what sound it would make upon urination...

the pain! the pain!

The color of the sun is still 5780 K.

it has turned from a hydrogen dominated sun into a helium dominated sun which is more stable, and part of our solar system becoming eternal.

:dubya:

the sun was never yellow. only in your crayon drawings when you were a kid. it can look yellow trough pollution, of what we have less nowadays than say 30 years ago.

Maybe they switched the sun to CFL bulbs to save on electricity???

Stars expand into red giants, then contract into white dwarfs.

The sun is looking like a 'cracker'?

I noticed this too. The sun use to be a lot more yellow. It was 68 degrees this morning at my house, walked in the sun shine and it felt like I was being toasted.

Come on now--you know that these morons won't let facts get in the way of their little delusions.

Does anyone have a home video or pictures of the sun from the 60's or 70's, in color?

its not the same star
