- The red light, which has a longer wavelength and a higher speed, reaches our eyes first, and we see a red Sun. When the Sun comes overhead, there is a shorter distance between the observer and the Sun because of the elliptical orbit. At that time, the Sun appears white because there is very little blue light scattered around.

If we were above the atmosphere, say on the International Space Station and looked at the sun (through our filtered visor), the sun would appear white! Why? Because though the sun emits strongest in the green part of the spectrum, it also emits strongly in all the visible colors – red through blue (400nm to 600nm).
