Indeed! And it isn't inaccurate; in a view like this, the Sun is yellow, although nowhere near as saturated as a dandelion.
I think you just like needling Ann.
I think he does, too, but in this case he is right. In a picture like this the Sun would look yellow-white instead of white, precisely because much of the blue light it emits has been scattered by the atmosphere, making the sky blue and the Sun reddened, i.e. yellow-white.
I didn't know (or knew as another flower's name) the name of that flower
Thanks for your comment Ann!
You're welcome, Nuclearcat! In Swedish "dandelion" is "maskros". It is possible to think of this name as consisting of two words, "mask", which means "worm", and "ros" which means, obviously, "rose". So a dandelion is a "worm-rose". Yeeech.
Disgusting, eh? Although it is clearly the wrong flower!
Oh well, but in English this yellow weed is a dandy lion...
