A difficult question to answer but I will give it a try...

When the sun rays comes down to the earth it passes through different layers of the atmosphere and on the way lights of lower frequencies like red has the less chance to get blocked then the light of higher frequencies like blue. Therefore any observer on Earth sees the sun as red rather than any other color like blue.

The right reason is - red light is getting less scattered compared to other colours in white light.Also red can travel long distances.
