FALSE!
Sunlight appears to be white to the human eye but is actually a mix of all the colors in the rainbow. The blue and violet part of the spectrum has shorter wavelengths than the red and orange part. Shorter wavelength blue and violet light is scattered more strongly than red and orange light. When you look at the sky, you see the light that was redirected by the atmosphere into your line or sight. Since blue and violet is scattered more efficiently that red and orange light, the sky appears blue. When viewing a sunrise or sunset, you see only light that has not been scattered in other directions. The red and orange part of sunlight travels through a maximum length of the atmosphere, so a sunrise and sunset appears to be more orange and reddish.

Why an exssecively thin film appears black in the reflection of light?
Destructive interference. If the sheet is very thin, near half the wavelength of the incident light then light reflected from the top layer is out of phase with light reflected from the bottom layer. These two reflected light waves will cancel each other out.
