The sky is black at night - about half of the year. During dusk and dawn
hours, the sky is often red. When it's cloudy, the sky is grey or
white. Where I live, we have about 130 sunny days a year, and even on
sunny days, there are some clouds more often than not, so not all of the
sky is blue.
Bottom line, the statement "the sky is blue" us about 80% wrong.
And the color of the sun? I'd call it bright white, not yellow. When
kids draw a sun in kindergarten, they use yellow, that's about all trhe
truth there is to the statement "the sun is yellow".
