what color is the sun

Is it yellow because from Earth it usually looks yellow to us? Or is it white because the sun gives off all wavelengths of light (white light)? Or is it some other color?

These comments confused me even more, but [this](https://youtu.be/dX6qouLEo2E?si=70sAkoUxtLkJeaBl) video helped me understand it. If I’m correct, the sun is white, which is all colors on the spectrum. The atmosphere is like a prism, which is why it’s yellow at sunrise, white during the day, and orange at sunset. It’s also blue from Mars.
