Answer 1

Answer:

Sun appears to be reddish early in the morning because when it rises it's Rays are not so warm. Maybe this phenomenon be seen by astronauts

Answer 2

Answer:

During sunrise and sunset, the rays have to travel a larger part of the atmosphere because they are very close to the horizon. Therefore, light other than red is mostly scattered away. Most of the red light, which is the least scattered, enters our eyes. Hence, the sun and the sky appear red.

No, this phenomenon will not be observed by an astronaut on the Moon because in the space there is no atmosphere to scatter the sun rays.
