With the help of scattering of light,explain the reason for the difference in colours of the Sun as it appears during sunrise/sunset and noon.

(N/A) The Sun appears reddish at sunrise and sunset,while it appears white at noon when it is overhead.
At sunrise and sunset,the light from the Sun travels through a thicker layer of the atmosphere. The blue light,having a shorter wavelength,is scattered away by the atmospheric particles,while the red light,having a longer wavelength,reaches our eyes.
At noon,the Sun is overhead,and the light travels a relatively shorter distance through the atmosphere. Consequently,only a small amount of blue and violet light is scattered,allowing the Sun to appear white as the majority of the light reaches our eyes.
