Question about artillery rounds

[BeFree]

Just now on an ABC feed, a picture of an Israeli soldier standing amongst rounds of artillery shells.

There were green ones mostly. The green ones were about 32 inches tall.

Next to that pile, there was a pallet of yellow shells, same height as the green ones.

Then next to that was a pallet of taller whites shells, about 42 inches in height.

So.... why the different colors? And the different lengths?

Thanks, Vets.

1. Different payloads. Flares, armor piercing, incindiary, high explosive,

and of course, White Phosphorous. Among other things.

2. The green ones are kind to the environment, cats, dogs and

children.
