Is Sun White or Yellow?

Colour of our Sun

(Source- Pintrest)

Our books are filled with a yellow Sun but in reality, Sun isn't actually yellow. There are powerful reactions happening inside the Sun these reactions produce every color of light and when all these colors of light come together they combine to form a pure white light. Which means that the color of Sun is White. If you see NASA's live spacewalk from ISS you can see the Sun is purely White.

The reason Sun looks yellow is the Earth's atmosphere as sunlight strikes Earth's atmospheric particles. Blue, indigo, and violet are scattered effectively which is why the Sky appears to be blue. Whereas red, orange, and yellow are scattered lightly which is why Sun appears to be Yellow.
