Is the sun white or yellow?

Have we been decived?

Practically every society on our planet shares the mythconception that the Sun is yellow.
The sun is white. In fact, the Sun defines the word 'white'

Perhaps the sun'appears' yellow when you compare it to the blue sky.
We belive that the sun is yellow,even though we see white cars and white cothes every day. They wouldn't look white if the sun was actually yellow.And the sun always looks white when you get a brief glimpse of it (as long as it's high enough above the horizon).

Sir Isaac Newton was one of the first scientists to prove this. In 1665 and 1666, he experimented with sunlight coming into a darkended room, throught a single small entrance. He placed a triangular glass prism in the path of the beam/ When the light passed landed on a white card. He had proved that white light is made up of the colours of the rainbow.
