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
Why was the sky SO yellow? - Earth Science Stack Exchange More atmosphere means more molecules to scatter the violet and blue light away from your eyes If the path is long enough, all of the blue and violet light scatters out of your line of sight The other colors continue on their way to your eyes This is why sunsets are often yellow, orange, and red
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

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
