Actually it is a white. the only reason why it seem yellow is because the easiest time to actually look at the sun (I don't suggest you do it), is in the morning and sunset. At that time the sun is low on the horizon, which means the light emitted from the sun is distorted through earth's atmosphere and has the illusion of looking yellow.

The sun is for all intents and purposes, a blackbody radiator, meaning that it emits light at every wavelength and at all colors. Due to it's temperature, the wavelength of visible light that is strongest is roughly equivalent to the color, yellow, and that is why it has the yellow tint. As the light travels through atmosphere, dust particles, clouds, etc, the shorter wavelengths (blue, green, etc) are blocked out and the sun will take on a more reddish hue.

No, it is white. Anybody can see that. But it is often described as a yellow star. It is not technically pure white, but then neither is a white light bulb. Incandescent lights are noticeably yellower than fluorescent lights, and sunlight is somewhere in between those two in color, but they are all basically white.

It's more of a burning redish, orange, yellow. Google an image.
Just don't try to look at it in the sky.
