Re: Why isn't sunlight green ?

It is true that the sun has its most intense energy emission in the green region of the spectrum. The sun also emits energies at all other wavelength but with lower intensities. Our eyes have evolved to be sensitive to the energy output of the sun, i.e. we are most sensitive to green light, but we also perceive all the other colors. We average out all the color we perceive as yellow. There are no stars that would actually appear to be green to us.

[Moderator's Note: Because of the shape of the "blackbody spectrum", or the amount of light emitted by the sun at each color, it happens that more long wavelength light (red and orange) is emitted than short wavelength light (blue). This is why our eye averages out the color to be more yellow than blue.]
