What Are the Bolts and Nuts MechanicsofWhy the Sun Looks like a Welders Arc Nowadays

Naw, now that I think about it, I don't really care so much about that , exactly.!

Why this large of a paradigm change so evident.......in MY sky. Why aren't the masses revolting? Hehe

Too haughty of me....huh....but back when

In the olden days, when you peeked up there at that forbidden to look at sun, I swears tu yas.....I swears, ..the sun was butter yellow.

One could easily look at it steady for a full half second, easily. MMM...and try that now....NO don't...hehe

It's no laughing matter really huh....Ladies and Gentlemen, we now have a welder going at it in our overhead.....on a construction site, I'd have a protective curtain put up idk....

Serious stuff these days , huh!!

You can still look directly at the sun without protection for much longer then a second.
Just do it at sunset or sunrise, not at noon

Sun changes colour all the time due to atmospheric lensing. Redder when it’s rising and setting.

So the world was bathed in yellow light in your time? Here silly me thought everything was black and white when you were roaming around. :p

I also recall the Sun being "butter yellow" when I was young. It seems very white now. Is the Sun changing, or do we see it differently when we age?

I think it could be related the all the air pollution. I remember it being yellow too.

Could it be depletion of ozone ?

Awhh man, how did you know.....back then ya turn on your tv and walk away for a good two minutes. Fill a cars tank with $1.75 pocket change....

Is there a point to this?

I remember reading online one time that the spectrum of the Sun changed... iirc, it was around the year 1970. It has been discussed on this site before. If you search the Internet, nothing really shows up now.

Maybe because the sun a giant, nuclear bomb, and arcs are the strongest shape in the universe. Strong enough to knock out 2/3 of Heaven army with it tail.

Seen it yellow, orange, maybe white, an definitely seen it red a few times.

I don't ever remember the sun being yellow at any point in my childhood. I DO remember being pretty ticked off as a kid that the blue-white eggshell hue I drew it in never showed up good on anything I drew it on, with the exception of black construction paper.

And keep in mind everyone's eyes see colors differently, even if only slightly. I glanced over at the "cat in a meadow" and "dino in a forest" drawings my kids did that I have up on the wall, and it dawned on me even THEY see the sun's hue differently. Older kid (with true art skills & a knack for seeing hues nobody else can) drew the sun like I used to as a kid -- blueish white. The younger one drew her dino & trees under a glaring yellow sun.

Lends a lot of merit to everyone's rods and cones seeing the spectrum just a touch different from the next guy's.

Wow a $1.75 won’t get you far these days. I just gased my truck up came to $180.50. I don’t even think $1.75 would register on the gauge.

Ouch, man! And I thought the $60 it takes to fill our car up at Costco every 2 weeks for us was a bit painful. To be fair, our car runs best on premium (knocks otherwise, and gets less miles to the gallon) so that's what we put in. Premium was $3.15 the other day, and I think regular was $2.59. The heck were you putting in yours, molten gold?

I have a 34 gallon tank in my Silverado Duramax 2500. Even if I filled it from zero gallons, which nobody does, I can't get over $119 in it at $3.50 a gallon. It normally takes $70-80 worth.

Edit: Translate to Canadian. Whatever that is.

Please continue your sun looking experiments. Please do not receive damage and please do not stop posting non sequiter things.......

Molten Canadian gas at $1.29 a litre for regular....
Truck has a big tank . Traveling 1400km this week to not looking forward to my multiple fill ups.
a reply to: Nyiah

Converted to metric(not Canadian) 1gallon is 3.785 litres.
$1.29 a litre is $4.88 a gallon
My fuel tank is the roughly same size holds 35 gallons or 132 litres(on paper)
132x1.29= 170.89.
I was right on empty and the truck took 140 litres so $180.60.
