Hii here it your answer...
At sunrise or sunset, the Sun looks almost reddish. This is because at the time of sunset or sunrise, the Sun is near the horizon . The light from the Sun should traverse larger thickness of atmosphere
than what it actually covers when the Sun is overhead. Blue and violet-colored rays are scattered in a large amount than the red-colored rays. Hence, the light reaching the observer is mostly red; as a result, the Sun appears reddish or orange-reddish at sunrise or sunset.
Hope it will help you..

When sun sets or rises ,it is far from the Earth's horizon and that's why the blue light get scattered in the way while reaching Earth and the light with longer wavelengths reaches to us which is red in colour. Hence the sin appears red while setting down and rising up.
