Keep in mind that one is constantly getting brighter and the other is constantly growing dimmer/softer. It’s subtle but it’s there and is noticeable (hence the reason we watch in the first place). This is in addition to what is mentioned about particles and humidity. That’s also why it’s harder to tell the difference in photos as opposed to experiencing it in real life or seeing it on film.
