What is the difference in colours of the sun observed during sunrise/sunset and noon? Give explanation for each.

Answer»

At sunrise / sunset, sunlight has to travel a larger distance. So, it come across more number of particles which scatters most of blue colour and the light reaching our eyes has more of reddish light. This makes sun orange. At noon, the distance travelled by light is comparatively less that results in lesser scattering. Thus sun looks white.
