What is Sky colors during sunrise and sunset?

The sky changes color during sunrise and sunset because light has to travel through more air than it does during the day.

Imagine you're playing with a flashlight in a room full of fog. When the light goes straight ahead, it stays bright white. But when it travels far through the foggy air, it looks more yellow or red, like when your favorite juice becomes darker as it sits out longer.

During sunrise and sunset, the sun is low on the horizon, so its light has to go through more of Earth's atmosphere. The air acts like a filter: it takes away some colors, especially blue and green. That leaves behind red, orange, and yellow, which are why we see those warm colors in the sky.

• If you look up at the sky during sunrise or sunset, you might see pink, red, or orange clouds, it's like when you mix different colored paints together!
• The more air the light travels through, the more colorful the sky looks. It’s just like how your juice gets darker when it sits out longer!

So next time you see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, remember: it’s all about light, air, and some really cool color mixing!
