Why aren't plants black? 🌿

Very interesting... I knew that the Sun is white in out a space... but I never knew green as well... my daughters could use the info you spoke about in school... it is just when I tell them science things they always take it out of me and call me a nerd... I just say you will need this info for school and the science lessons...How would you get them a little interested?
I was led to believe that things on Earth are the colour they are for that is the colour they don't absorb from the Sun...
