What colour is the sun?

However, the Sun is essentially all colors mixed together, which appear to our eyes as white. This is easy to see in pictures taken from space. Rainbows are light from the Sun, separated into its colors. Each color in the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, blue, violet) has a different wavelength. When we see the Sun at sunrise or sunset, when it is low in the sky, it may appear yellow, orange, or red. But that is because of only its only short wavelength colors ( green, blue, violet ) are scattered out by Earth's atmosphere, much like small waves are dispersed by big rocks along the shore. Hence the only reds, yellows, and oranges get through the thick atmosphere to our eyes.
