Who is Blue Hour?

Blue Hour is when the sky turns blue and soft, like after a long nap.

Imagine you're playing outside on a sunny day, and then suddenly it gets cozy and calm, that’s the Blue Hour. It happens just before the sun goes to bed (that's sunset) and right after it wakes up (that's sunrise).

Think of the sky as a sleepy friend who takes a nap in the middle of the day, when the sun is high up, the sky feels bright and yellow. But once the sun starts to rest, the sky takes its turn to relax and turns blue, like you do after a long nap.

At sunrise, it's like the sky is just waking up from its nap, still blue but getting brighter little by little, until the sun comes all the way out. That’s when the day starts again!

So next time you see that blue sky in the morning or evening, you’ll know it's the sky taking a cozy nap, and that’s what makes it the Blue Hour!
