Why Does the Sun Look Yellow and Orange? BRIN Explains the Role of the Atmosphere

Thus, the visible color changes are related to the journey of light through the atmosphere and the air conditions along its path.

The Sun Also Emits Invisible Light

Rasdewita explained that the Sun's energy rays are not limited to the light that the human eye can perceive. The sun also emits radiation at other wavelengths.

"There is also a spectrum with larger wavelengths, which fall into the group of radio waves and microwaves. We cannot see this with our eyes," he explained.

Special observing instruments allow astronomers to study features of the Sun at various wavelengths.

"With the help of tools, we can see various faces of the Sun. So the white ones with black spots are at visible wavelengths. But if we use a filter, we can see other features on the Sun," added Rasdewita.

Observations at various wavelengths help scientists study the Sun's activity, including monitoring solar storms and supporting the development of space weather early warning systems.
