Question

Accepted Answer

(c) Scattering of light in Earth's Atmosphere — The colour of the sun appears red during sunset because at this time the Sun rays have to travel a longer path in the atmosphere. During this process, the sun rays collide with the atmospheric particles and scattering occurs when the sun sets, the sun rays travel a longer distance and the blue rays are scattered more. Therefore blue light does not reach our eyes. In contrast, red and orange rays are scattered less and reach our eyes directly, making the colour of the sun appear red.
