 Why the Sun appears yellow - Bad Astronomy and Universe Today Forum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
It must be remembered the "yellow" of the sun really isn't that "yellow." i've projected the disk onto paper and its not /that/ apparent.
I'd simply say, the sun is yellow for us because we can only look at it when the sun is pretty low and then yellow or yellow-red.
And when the sun is low, it also often shines a nice yellow light over the landscape, especially when you've low clouds and just a gap at the horizon.

 Borzoi Reader | Catalog | Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“Half of a Yellow Sun, which follows a group of upper-class Nigerians during the social upheaval of the Biafran war of the 1960s, is a protean work of the imagination that is all the more remarkable at having been written by someone who isn’t yet 30.
Her second novel, Half of a Yellow Sun, takes its title from the emblem for Biafra, the breakaway state in eastern Nigeria that survived for only three years, and whose name became a global byword for war by starvation.
‘Half of a yellow sun’ is Biafra’s emblem of hope, but the horrors and misery Adichie’s characters endure transform the promising image of a rising sun into that of a sun setting over a blood-soaked and starving land.

 Why is the sky blue?
If the dipole is a molecular dipole created by an electromagnetic wave from the sun impinging on an air molecule, then it is the higher frequencies that will be primarily scattered in different directions, and removed from the incoming wave.
Since the emitted radiation removes energy from the incoming waves by destructive interference (thereby conserving the overall energy), the higher frequencies are preferentially depleted from the unscattered beam.
At sunset, the sun is shining at a grazing angle through an unusually thick layer of air, so the depletion is particularly pronounced, and the sun appears yellow, orange or red rather than the usual blinding white.

 The Sun
Although the sun is actually white, it appears yellow when seen from Earth.
The reason for this is that the sun has five different zones for the energy to pass through.
The matter near the center of the sun is packed so tightly that the atoms carrying energy (that were produced during nuclear fusion) have trouble finding their way through.

 Half of a Yellow Sun - Book Reviews - Books - Entertainment - smh.com.au
Half of a Yellow Sun is not difficult fiction - what impresses about Adichie's writing is not so much her style, as the broad canvas she uses and so skilfully covers.
Her first novel, Purple Hibiscus, published in 2003 and set against the political turmoil in Nigeria in the late 1990s, was shortlisted for the Orange Prize and won the 2005 Commonwealth Writers Award for best first book.
What is most impressive about Half of a Yellow Sun (the title derives from the emblem on the now-defunct Biafran flag) is Adichie's ability to take a culturally definitive moment, delineate its many complicated threads and re-weave them into compelling original fiction.

 Re: Why is the sun yellow at noon and red at sunset?
At noon, the Sun is overhead and the sunlight does not have to pass through much atmosphere before it reaches us.
At sunset though, the sunlight has to travel through a thick layer of atmosphere, because of the angle of the Sun.
The blue light is scattered away from the line of sight, leaving the red light to go straight through - so the sun looks red.
