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?

Depends on the eyeball looking at and with what tool. Is the star directly overhead or on the horizon? Any atmospheric pollutants?

Question, did the astronauts on the moon take pictures of the sun or would it be impossible in visible light without an atmosphere? Everything in a search seems to be CGI. Even NASA’s website only yields pictures in different wave lengths.
