Replying to @samim
It’s also the solar spectrum peak and a atmospheric transparency zone (ozone absorbs UV and greenhouse gases absorb infrared)

water is transparent only within a very narrow band of the electromagnetic spectrum, so living organisms evolved sensitivity to that band, and that's what we now call "visible light".

Emissive shaders. Type a temperature in K and get a blackbody colour – that's how most shaders do it, and it's wrong for practically every real material. Kirchhoff's law fixes it. linkedin.com/pulse/thermal-l…

Thermal light emission from hot objects

Most emissive shaders in CG make hot metal glow the same way: you type a temperature in Kelvin, a blackbody function turns it into a colour, and that colour is added on top of the material. Gold,...
