[00:00:00]You've never seen the sun's real color.

[00:00:02]The sun is not actually yellow. It's true color is white. In space, astronauts see the sun as a massive white star. So, why does it look yellow from Earth? Because of our atmosphere.

[00:00:15]As sunlight passes through the air, blue light scatters in every direction. That changes the color we see from the ground. And during sunsets, the effect becomes even stronger. That's why the sun turns orange, red, or even deep crimson. But outside Earth's atmosphere, the sun shines white. The star you've looked at your entire life never actually looked the way you thought.
