Mind you, regarding the sun being green, it’s worth noting this observation from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien’s_displacement_law
The effective temperature of the Sun is 5778 Kelvin. Using Wien’s law, one finds a peak emission per nanometer (of wavelength) at a wavelength of about 500 nm, in the green portion of the spectrum near the peak sensitivity of the human eye.

It’s not fundamentally easier to do calculations in base 10. It’s only easier for us because that’s what we learn as children.
If our number system was based on a superior base, like dozenal or senary, we would be able to do calculations on that base easily and would find working in tens awkward.
