The sun is not yellow or orange as we see in books and movies. It emits all the colours in the visible spectrum (also in other spectrums as well) making it white!

    It’s yellow or orange due to the filter from our ozone/atmosphere and camera. It’s also much more interesting to depict it as yellow or orange and not a white spot in the sky. When you stare at the sun on the equator and at 12pm, it’s white, and then it will turn black because you’ll be blinded by it.
