At Sunrise & Sunset the Sun is at the farthest point from the earth. Only the Red light which is having the maximum wave length is able to reach our eyes & we can see the Sun as RED during Sunrise & Sunset.

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.
