why do we see the sun yellow in color from earth?
basheeramaryam:
Because sun is a fire ball, and fire consists of mainly three colours- red, blue and yellow. Mainly of these three colours yellow is mainly seen the most as comparison to the others. So from the Earth the sun is seen yellow as it is the brightest one.

Because of the Sun's high position at noon, the sunlight has less air to travel through. Less air means less filtering of other colors. ... The short wavelengths (blue) of light from the sun are scattered by the atmosphere (which is why the sky appears to be blue.), leaving behind the longer (yellow-red) wavelengths

It is so because the short wave lengths (blue , green , violet ) of the sun are scattered out of the earth's atmosphere ..therefore the sun appears to be yellow in colour from the earth .. this phenomena is called dispersion .....
