Answer 1

The sun actually glows white-hot, so we can't look at it with the naked eye. When we do manage to get a glimpse, it appears yellowish. When it's rising or setting, it may appear orange or reddish, because of the bending of light rays.

Answer 2

The sun is white. It contains many different frequencies of energy, making the light that it emits white. It appears red/orange/pink to our eyes during sunrise/sunset because the thicker atmosphere when the sun is low on the horizon and particles in the atmosphere filter the light so that we see only red light or orange light.

Also, images of the sun taken from telescopes are in black and white. The colour is added in later by computers.
