Solar System Stroll ☼ Sun ☼

Sun

The Sun is a star of type G2 (yellow dwarf) but it emits white color. The Earth's atmosphere, its molecules of air, scatter the sunlight. If the Sun is up, the atmosphere reflects mainly blue portion of the light (hence the sky is blue), if there are many droplets of water, a rainbow is reflected. If the Sun is over the horizon, sunlight travels longer through denser atmosphere, making the Sun to appear red or yellow during dusk or dawn.

In our scale, the Sun moves 43 meters per day upwards under 60,2° degree.
