Indeed, good qstn. The sun is emitting light at roughly the spectrum curve of a (non-ideal) black body at 5778°K [1]. The 'black body' curve is the idealized electromagnetic spectral emission curve of how every body 'glows' according to temperature. [0] The peak of the sun's emission curve is around 500nm which is a blue-green, but of course it is spread out across a broad spectrum so is closer to white, and then it is differentially scattered by the atmosphere. But these photos have no atmospheric filtering or scattering, so, perhaps the yellow-orange hue is more related to their own filters?
