Answer:
According to the science magazine Scientific American, the sunset is reddish because "when the sun is setting, the light that reaches you has had to go through lots more atmosphere than when the sun is overhead, hence the only colour light that is not scattered away is the long wavelength light, the red.

Within the visible range of light, red light waves are scattered the least by atmospheric gas molecules.
So at sunrise and sunset, when the sunlight travels a long path through the atmosphere to reach our eyes, the blue light has been mostly removed, leaving mostly red and yellow light remaining.
