For photographers the sunrise and sunset are two things that are highly awaited as well as people who are always hunting for two different conditions in essence just to capture the moment or phenomenon. Everyone lovers of sunset and sunrise have their own reasons in that regard because the situation is so phenomenal.

Sometimes some people are willing to waste time or are willing to look for a high place, sometimes people are willing to hunt for it by climbing mountains just to hunt for that beautiful natural phenomenon.

But for me besides getting a beautiful situation and at the same time one question arises in my heart why the sunset is different color from the sun at another time? Then what is the effect?

So in this case while you enjoy the sunset in this photo then I will try to explain some explanations about the sunset and different colors from before, of course in this case I adopted some explanations of the metreologists who have written in his book, metreologists say that, the change in color seen by humans from a distance is a factor of several causes, namely:

Dust and smoke and some other particles

Basically sunlight never changes all the time, so why does the color change? This is caused by our own eyes watching from a distance, and this is also influenced by the surrounding air.

The effect of dust, smoke, and other particles in the air makes the colors look changed. The cleaner the air, the clearer the sun's rays reach the Earth. Clean air also makes clouds look bluer if the sun is in the middle of the head, so also when entering the afternoon the color of the sun turns red or yellow.

So thus the sunset or sunrise occurs when the air in the sky is cleaner so that particles or dust emit colored light at that time.

The position of the sun also affects color

Sunset or sunrise itself is also influenced by the location of the sun or the position of the sun that changes, when the earth rotates, the sun automatically changes its position, so that color changes also occur. When the sun rises and sets, the Sun is in a fairly low position if we are on the low side but for people who are in the hemisphere highlands then they will see a different light from the light we see in the lowlands. Because it is in a low position, the sun's rays that will come to Earth must pass through the atmosphere more, and as a result of this influence the sun's rays will turn red or yellow.

When the sun passes through it, it also touches the atmosphere. Then this is what is said to spread, or sunlight will experience distribution. This distribution greatly affects the color spectrum of the sun itself.

With the aforementioned influence, in the end, the sun's rays reaching Earth are only those with red and yellow spectra. Then the two spectrums will appear orange in our eyes or close together in yellow, or red as seen in the picture in this post.

But for me, whatever is explained by experts, what I see in the afternoon is very beautiful and very interesting to enjoy because when we see this phenomenon the heart becomes calm and when it feels we are in dreamland. Maybe you also feel the way I already feel.

Then when witnessing natural phenomena today, I personally got a new idea about this. And I will explain in a future post.
