Why do sunsets and sunrises look so different? Isn’t it technically the same thing?
In: Earth Science
One difference is that a lot of smog and water vapor builds up in the sky during the day, between car exhaust, other pollution, water evaporating from day’s sun and heat… the refraction of light off all these particles in the sky is what causes the vibrant colors. The cooler air and lack of modern activity during the night means less of that stuff in the sky at sunrise.
