Hmm. So what color does the sun have to an observer in orbit above the atmosphere?
(Assuming appropriate gear to dim it enough to allow observation.)

It would be blue. However, there's so much blue that the blue receptors in the eye are completly overloaded. The non-blueness of the sun is a side effect of the human visual system, er, and and cameras and such. (For non-Brits, sarky = sarcastic, pertaining to a low form of mocking 'wit', which we Brits sometimes confuse with irony).
Smilies etc.
