It's not unusual.
You could take two exposures - one which exposes the sun as you would like it - and another that exposes a little longer, so that everything will be in complete silhouette. Or wait until the sun dips below the horizon. These were single exposures.

Aim your camera 45% to either side of the sunrise, then aim your camera up 45%, in manual exposure adjust your setting until you are one stop under exposed. Reposition your camera and take the sunrise shot.
Yes, it is that easy.
Thanks I will give it a try

Agree. Some of the best Sunrise/sets are when the Sun is below the horizon.
I shoot with the camera in Manual mode & spot meter the sky to the left or right of the Sun & under expose. I believe # 2 is as shot. You can see the camera settings in the top left of the LR Develop Module. I'm pretty sure the atmospheric conditions probably helped with the exposure.
I’ll go out on a limb here and will get some blowback but the sun has no relevant "natural" color, anymore than what an atom bomb has when it goes off. The color will always be with respect to what’s in the atmosphere. It’s intensity is beyond the range of any camera sensor or our our eyes to see detail in it, let alone color. Do your best to capture the filtered colors in your composition.
It's always going to be a combination of shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. Oh, and add careful metering.

I think that tree with personality would be remarkable in any season, in any kind of weather or light
The color of the son has a lot to do with the color of the parents
