Best Answer

When you look at the sun when it is high in the sky, it appears almost completely white. When it appears nearer to the horizon, the light passes through more atmosphere before reaching your eye, so there are more molecules able to absorb and scatter the light. Blue wavelengths are reflected by these molecules most readily. and the deep orange/red wavelengths do not, so they are free to hit your eye.
