Is there anything more peaceful than taking in the beauty of a setting sun?
As the sun dips below the horizon, a display shades of red and orange are created on the sky. While the sunsets is the end of the day, literally. They have become global symbols of harmony, peace and promise of rejuvenation and renewal.
I will also share with you a scientific view on sunsets. At sunset, when the sunlight travels through the atmosphere its path is longer, the blue and green components which have shorter wavelengths are removed (almost completely) leaving the longer wavelength orange and reds we see at that time. The remaining red sunlight is then scattered by cloud particles and makes the horizon a mix of red and orange. The sunset colors are more brilliant than the sunrise colors because the evening air contains more particles than the morning air.
Until next time, keep well and keep safe!
