But what are the properties? What characteristics about those molecules is the deciding factor in which light is reflected? Is it their size? Their constituent elements? Why do the yellow wavelengths reflect and not the red? Why is red absorbed? What is it about that matter that makes it absorb red?
Ah, I see now. I did not know that, but I still don't understand the other part of it. If the banana reflects mostly yellow wavelengths and not others, why does it do that?
What is it about the material that decides what wavelengths are absorbed and others reflected? Bananas can have brown...

Electromagnetic radiation is emitted from the sun as a byproduct of fusion, in the form of photons.
These photons travel a vast distance at an incomprehensible speed, and bounce around the atmosphere a bit.
