Green is one of my favorite colors. What about yours?
1_Wizard
Same here! Green is a wonderful colour. It's the colour between blue and yellow on the visible spectrum of light.

Oh cool! I just love how many different shades there are too!
1_Wizard
Same here! Lots of animals and insects and other creatures have adapted to the green in their environments by taking on green hues themselves as a means of camoflage

That makes sense, so much of nature is green.
1_Wizard
That's right! The reason it's so green is because of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the chemical which plants use to photosynthesize and convert sunlight into energy.

Is there any reason that this chlorophyll is green?
1_Wizard
I don't know! For whatever reason it reflects light that has the dominant wavelength of roughly 495570 nm, so it looks green.
