Maximum people know that our sun is yellow. But the truth is white is real colour of sun. Its a common misconception that the sun is yellow. The sun appears yellow because the light with short wavelength like violet and blue, get scattered by earth's atmosphere. Since, the lights of longer wavelength like red, yellow, orange doesn't get scattered, we see the sun and it's surrounding as yellow. Scientists have processed this image to make it appear orange.
