Why Does Our Sun Appear Orange? Why Is The Sky Blue?

The atmosphere scatters sunlight—especially light of shorter wavelength, i.e. blue light—so the Sun appears slightly orange-ish as a result. The missing blue light isn’t really missing at all, it’s what makes the sky blue. All that blue light that you see from the sky during the day, that’s just scattered sunlight.
