sun appears white at noon because there are lesser number of particles in the sky as the distance is short few scattering takes place and hence sun appears white
The sun appears white at noon because its light is scattered by the Earth's atmosphere. The atmosphere scatters shorter blue and green wavelengths more effectively than longer red and orange wavelengths, giving the sun a white appearance when it is high in the sky.
At sunrise and sunset the sun is near the horizon. The rays of light from upper & lower part of the periphery of the sun bend unequally on travelling through earth's atmosphere. That is why sun appear oval or flattened at sunrise and sunset. At noon sun is overhead. The rays of light from the sun enter earth's atmosphere normally. Therefore they suffer no refraction or bending on passing through. Hence the sun appears circular at noon.
Well, if you are in the southern hemisphere the sun will be going across the northern sky and if you are in the northern it will go across the southern. Depending on where you are you will know if the sun is in the north sky.
The sun appears at its highest point around midday, when it reaches its highest position in the sky. The sun appears at its lowest point during sunrise and sunset, when it is closest to the horizon.
At noon the Sun is at its "zenith". The highest elevation it will reach that day.
well it is very clear that you should not be looking at the sun in the first place.

Sunrise is when the sun appears to rise up from below the horizon (in the morning).
Solar noon is the time when the Sun appears to contact the local celestial meridian. This is when the Sun apparently reaches its highest point in the sky, at 12 noon apparent solar time and can be observed using a sundial. The local or clock time of solar noon depends on the longitude and date.

The moon is white and the sun is orange/red. The moon appears at night and the sun appears at day. YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS
The answer is that annually, on the day of the summer solstice the sun will be highest in the sky at noon. But the sun will be lowest in the sky at noon, on the day of the winter solstice. So on the day of an 'equinox' the sun will be in an intermediate position at noon because an equinox represents the time of year when day and night are roughly equal. Because the days are longer in summer, then the sun will high in the sky at noon and if you plant a stick in the ground it will project a short shadow. In winter when the days are short, the sun is lower in the sky at noon and will project a long shadow. At an equinox therefore, the noon shadow will be half way in between because day and night are roughly equal.
None of them would be visible. If one was - it would be Jupiter,
In noon near the equator, the sun is high in the sky.
The sun appears to rise and set due to Earth's rotation on its axis, not its position in the sky. The sun reaches its highest point in the sky at noon, known as solar noon, which varies depending on your location on Earth. The height of the sun in the sky affects the intensity of sunlight and weather conditions.
