What causes the colors seen during a sunset sunrise? Due to a phenomenon known as the shorter wavelengths of light (greens, blues, violets) are scattered first, leaving the shorter wavelengths (yellows, oranges and reds) to travel further The greater the amount of particles in the air, dust and aerosols, the greater the degree of scattering and the more red the sunrises and sunsets will appear
atmosphere - Why does the blue hour look pink when watched from an . . . Now, when I watch sunsets from Mauritius (20 4°S 57 4°E), both by naked eyes and using my camera, the nautical twilight always appears to be pinkish The sky around the zenith does have some hints of blue, but generally everything, especially the bright blob near the horizon, is nothing like the photo from Ladoga or the simulation in Stellarium
meteorology - Color of Sunsets - Earth Science Stack Exchange Sunsets over water are a common setting for viewing such green flashes, but I have seen them at sunrise over Lake Michigan from Chicago The most common form of such a green flash involves a setting where cooler air is atop a warmer surface, which produces an inferior mirage like we commonly see in a desert or on a roadway
Does the elliptical orbit of the Earth have effect on Earths climate . . . Yes, but this is not mainly due to the small intensity variation of sunlight with distance Rather, the elliptical orbit affects the length of the seasons, which — along with other orbital effects — triggers the ice ages Currently, in the northern hemisphere, summers are longer than winters, because of Kepler's orbit laws and the fact that perihelion is in the northern hemisphere winter
Artists rendering of OAE2 environment (mid-Cretaceous) The slightly more hazy atmosphere asside (with the more colourful sun rises and sunsets), the assumed different composition of the atmosphere itself is not big enough to change the colour perception of the atmosphere
light - US Naval Observatory Sunrise Sunset Data: Blank Sunrise Sunset . . . I get a blank entry for May 03 The Sun didn't set on Bovinia, New York on May 03 when time is expressed as Universal Time Sunsets from May 04 to August 16 occur before sunrise (Also note that August 16 has two sunsets ) The solution is simple: Fill in the time zone Ignoring daylight savings time, time in Bovinia New York is offset by 5 hours from UTC Another solution is to use a different

Why do we say Earth rotates from west to east? The Earth rotates from west to east or counter-clockwise You can do simple experiment put your face towards the polar star and stretch your hands Your head shows North (towards polar star) and your left hand points towards west, your right hand points towards east and your back head points towards South The sun rises in the East - from the direction of your right hand and sets in the west
Where does the sun set? - Earth Science Stack Exchange It's commonly said that the sun sets in the west However from my balcony I can clearly see that it sets significantly farther in the south during winter, and much farther north in the summer Why is
