Best Answer

The sum emits light on many different frequencies including that of all colours and also invisible frequencies like ultra-violet, microwave etc.

When the visible light from the sun is examined, the light peaks at the frequency for yellow meaning the sun emits more yellow than all other colours. Since the light is not even amongst all colours then it makes the sun not white but yellow. Kind of like a classic light-bulb.

This is why our sun is called a Yellow Dwarf Star.

Is the color of the sun red orange?

Yes, the color of the sun as seen on Earth is yellowish, orange, or red. The color is caused by the scattering of the blue and violet light by our atmosphere, which is how the sky gets its blue color. Sunlight is actually "white" (a mixture of all colors). But much of the Sun's visible radiation is in the mid-range of colors (green) so that the scattering of the blue gives it the yellow color seen in photographs.

Why is blue so blue?

Blue is blue because things that are blue actually repel the frequency of light from the sun that would appear blue. Because that is the only color light that is reflected, that is the only color that we see. Things that are blue are actually every color BUT blue!
