How can sunlight be white , but pictures of the sun be orange?

The main reason why the sun doesn’t look white is due to Rayeleigh Scattering means that the blue light from the sun is scattered so it appears to be yellow or even orange when viewed through thicker atmosphere. This means that when you take a photograph of the sun (through the necessary filters) from the surface of the earth it will appear yellow or even orange.
