Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
At sunrise, the sun looks reddish because the white light coming from the sun undergoes scattering due to the atmosphere of Earth, since the light has to travel a longer path in the atmosphere at the time of sunrise only the red colour, which is the least scattered coloured light, is received by our eye and appears to come from the sun. Thus, the appearance of the sun at sunrise, near the horizon, looks reddish in colour.
