@Pat The sun appears to be yellow or sometimes orange from Earth, but in reality, it is white. The sun emits light in all colors of the spectrum, but our atmosphere scatters blue light more than other colors. This makes the sky appear blue during the day and causes the sun to appear yellow or orange. When viewed from space, the sun appears white because there is no atmosphere to scatter the light.
