No, smoke does not make the sun appear red. The sun appears red during sunrise and sunset due to the scattering of light in the Earth's atmosphere.
Smoke particles in the air scatter sunlight, causing shorter blue and green wavelengths to disperse and leaving longer red and orange wavelengths to dominate, making the sun appear red.
Smoke particles in the air scatter sunlight, causing shorter blue and green wavelengths to be absorbed. This leaves longer red and orange wavelengths to dominate, making the sun appear red.
When the sun appears red at sunset, it is because the sunlight has to pass through more of the Earth's atmosphere, which scatters shorter wavelengths like blue and green light, leaving mostly red and orange light to reach our eyes. This scattering effect is why the sun looks red or orange during sunset.
Red-coloured objects appear red because they reflect mostly red light. Thus, they must absorb most of the other colours of light. Since light carries energy, they are absorbing solar energy, which is, of course, why objects that are left in the sun get hot. Objects that are coloured black absorb all visible frequencies (colours) of light, which makes them appear dark, and also means they will absorb the most solar energy and heat up fastest in the sun.
When the sun turns red, it usually means that there is a lot of dust, smoke, or pollution in the air. This can happen during sunrise or sunset when the sunlight has to pass through more of the Earth's atmosphere, causing the shorter blue and green wavelengths to scatter and leaving the longer red wavelengths to dominate the sky.

The sun has appeared red lately due to particles in the atmosphere, such as dust or smoke, scattering sunlight and causing it to appear red.
The sun appears red right now due to atmospheric conditions such as pollution, dust, or particles in the air that scatter sunlight and make it appear red.
The sun appears red today in 2016 due to atmospheric conditions like pollution or particles in the air, which scatter sunlight and make it appear red.
The sun appears red today in 2017 due to atmospheric conditions like pollution or particles in the air, which scatter sunlight and make it appear red.
The sun appears red today in 2018 due to atmospheric conditions such as pollution, dust, or particles in the air that scatter sunlight and make it appear red.
This occurs because the sun is shining through smoke or dust in the earth's atmosphere.
The same reason why red roses appear red, or anything else appears red for that matter. Objects appear red when they absorb all other colours of light (remember, light from the sun is a spectrum of Red-Orange-Yellow-Green-Blue-Indigo-Violet). So strawberries absorb orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet rays of light emitted from the sun. They reflect back all red rays of light from the sun, which go into your eyes, which we see, hence strawberries appear red.
Because thats why! Because thats why!
The sun has appeared red lately due to particles in the atmosphere, such as dust or smoke, scattering sunlight and causing longer wavelengths, like red, to be more prominent.
When the sun sets, you can watch the sky as the stars and moon appear.
