There are no green stars because the ‘black-body spectrum’ of stars, which describes the amount of light at each wavelength and depends on temperature, doesn’t produce the same spectrum of colours as, for example, a rainbow.
4 mar 2024 · So why can’t stars with temperatures in between appear green? The answer is a result of the way our eyes see combinations of frequencies: Our eyes add up all the colors that come in,...
29 mar 2013 · A green star is radiating right in the center of the visible light spectrum, which means it is emitting some light in all the possible colors. The star would therefore appear...
21 wrz 2023 · An avid stargazer may notice that apart from the gleaming white stars that sprinkle the night sky, there are red, yellow, blue and orange stars. However, what you'll never see are green stars. Why is that, and why are some stars different colors than others? The answer may surprise you.
21 lip 2006 · A star (or other hot object) emits light across the entire visible spectrum, but the wavelength at which it shines brightest depends on its temperature. Hotter stars emit proportionately more blue light than red; for cooler ones it's the other way around.
8 kwi 2022 · Stars of medium heat mostly emit green photons, but they don't appear green. The curve of their light chart peaks at the green wavelength, which falls in the middle of the color...
9 paź 2013 · There are red stars, blue stars and white stars, but why are there no green stars in space? Watch Eugene Mirman persuade Neil deGrasse Tyson to explain how we can get green light from...
