White |
The correct answer is option 3. White. The color of the light emitted by the Sun is White. The light emitted by the Sun appears white to human eyes when observed from Earth's surface. This is because sunlight is a mixture of many different colors, which combine to form white light. However, when sunlight passes through the Earth's atmosphere, it can scatter shorter wavelengths of light more effectively than longer wavelengths, resulting in the blue sky phenomenon. Nonetheless, the intrinsic color of sunlight is considered white. |
