It's called a yellow sun because of its classification and how it was preceived to us. If you actually look at it up close, which I do not advise, it is white because of the lack of atmospheric distortion and limited eyesight. What do you think happens to light when it has to travel through an entirely different index of air with wavelengths that become scattered? Second, would you really expect a celestial object as HOT as the sun to be yellow?
