What is the color of the sun?

The color of the sun is white. The sun emits all colors of the rainbow more or less evenly and in physics, we call this combination white. That is ...

The sun is not yellow or orange as we see in books and movies. It emits all the colours in the visible spectrum (also in other spectrums as well) making it white!

    Do you have a source for that claim? There is no way we can validate that without sending humans to another solar system. And wait thousands of years.

      Surely it is plausible that an organism that evolved vision under particular lighting conditions would develop vision adapated to those lighting conditions.

      I’m not telling you it’s not worthwhile to come up with ways to test the claim if you want to be rigorous (e.g. you could measure the wavelength sensitivities of the vision of nocturnal or underwater animals and see if there’s a pattern). But to me it’s pretty self-evident as a starting point at least.
