Why is the sun giving off a weird color?

Question

I live in Florida and recently there was a brush fire in the everglades.When I stepped outside today the air gave a hint of smoke and the grass, my car, the road, and the tree gave off a hit of yellow. I thought I was going insane so I asked my friend and she noticed it to. Why is that?

Answer 1

It is Armageddon...kiss your pets goodbye!!!

Answer 2

It is not the sun but particles in the air.  The large particles disperse light and result in the weird color.  Red sunsets are formed from particles dispersing light.
