Interesting Facts

Sunset colors are caused by the scattering of sunlight by the atmosphere, which is known as Rayleigh scattering. The most intense colors often occur when the sun is at a low angle, allowing light to pass through more of the atmosphere.

Clouds can appear red during sunrise or sunset because the longer wavelengths of light (red, orange) are scattered less than the shorter wavelengths (blue, green), making them more visible.

The highest clouds in the atmosphere, known as noctilucent clouds, can be seen glowing after sunset at high latitudes during summer months, up to 80 km / 50 miles above the Earth’s surface.
