      The light from the sun actually includes all the colours of the rainbow – which makes a “white” colour when they are all added together.

      We tend to draw the sun as yellow or orange because it can produce a yellow/orange colour in the sky qhwn the he light is scattered in our atmosphere – but the highest levels of visible light from the sun are actually green! :O
