Everything the famous movie is called "White Sun of the Desert", and in a song to the Bremen Town Musicians sing about "a beam of the sun gold" … And still say that British have a saying about "the lilac sun". So what it is actually? Really yellow?
The sun was worshipped, represented it in gold, made it a sacrifice, sang songs and composed about it legends and fairy tales. Everywhere and always the sun is life. And in a dream to see the sun - always to good luck and joy unless the exception makes a solar eclipse.
All saw the sun a miscellaneous. Both white dazzling, and red at sunset, and pink on rising. It can be even violet if to look at it through ashes of the throwing-up volcano. But … children when draw the sun, always use a yellow pencil or paint. And if the jeweler incorporates to do a pendant in the form of the sun of him, then he chooses gold – metal of yellow color.
Yellow color of the sun is caused by optical effect of the structure of human eyes and perception of the sky. Scientists claim that actually the sun white and yellow we see it because of the blue sky. And the blue color of the sky is brighter and is more shrill, the sun is more yellow. So happens, for example, in a clear weather after a rain. In cloudy weather the sun will seem white. You will see the same effect in the desert because air is filled with parts of sand and dust. And in the "washed" sky there will be a bright yellow sun. Still yellow the sun to become when begins to tend to the horizon in the evening. Before reddening, it becomes yellow. All this the same effect of blue beams of the sky which dissipate in the atmosphere. Eyes of the person are arranged so that perceive three primary colors: red, blue and green. Our eye receptors receive waves or beams of these flowers. But some beams are longer, others are shorter. Those that is shorter dissipate stronger for perception of the person. For example, blue beams of the atmosphere the shortest and because of it the sky seems blue. And sunlight, getting to this leaky weight, dissipates and in this combination gives waves which eyes perceive as yellow. So all this depends on the structure of our eyes and perception of the world through them.
