The sun is not yellow or orange as we see in books and movies. It emits all the colours in the visible spectrum (also in other spectrums as well) making it white!

How about this, white isn’t a real color.
I mean… how do we know anything is real?
White is a color. It’s all the colors.
“Light is perceived by the human visual system as white when the incoming light to the eye stimulates all three types of color sensitive cone cells in the eye in roughly equal amounts.”

Which makes it a combination of color and not a distinct wavelength of light.
