Best answer
  • The light rays from the sun travel more distance in atmosphere to reach our eye in morning and evening times. 
  • During sunrise and sunset except red light all colours scatter more and vanish before they reach us. 
  • Since scattering of red light is very less, it reaches us. 
  • As a result sun appears red in colour during sunrise and sunset.
