Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
During sunset or sunrise the sun is near the horizon therefore it must travel the greatest distance because of the greatest thickness in the atmosphere to reach us. So, at this time the light from the sun will gets scattered  the most before reaching our line of sight. Red light has the longest wavelength which makes the sun and the surroundings look reddish.
