#7 HBY & Math: Portrayals of the Sun in Art 

The Sun has been depicted in art for thousands of years, from graphic illustrations to street art to ceramics. One of the most common beliefs is that the Sun is yellow. Our atmosphere extinguishes some of the light that passes from space to the ground but it doesn’t do this by the same amount at each wavelength from red (long) to blue (short). NASA HEAT / Odenwald
