Question

if sun gives out white light then why its colour appears to be yellow??

Answer 1

Hi! Sankalp

As the Sun crosses the sky, it may appear to be red, orange, yellow or white depending on its position. The changing colour of the sun over the course of the day is mainly a result of scattering of light by the atmosphere. The blue colour of the sky is caused by Rayleigh scattering of the sunlight from the atmosphere, which tends to scatter blue light more than red. White light is the combination of Red, Green and Blue in the ratio of 1:1:1. As most of the blue colour got scattered, the combination of red and green produces yellow light.
