Why Sky Looks Red During Sunset and Sunrise Explained
1 Views • Jun 05, 2026
Description
In this video, we break down the fascinating science behind why the sky looks red during sunset and sunrise. It all comes down to a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering! When the sun sits low on the horizon, its light has to travel through a much thicker layer of the Earth's atmosphere. This scatters away the shorter blue and violet wavelengths of light, leaving behind the stunning, longer red and orange wavelengths that fill our view.
But that’s not all—we also explore what happens if the sky is red. Does a red sky mean a major storm is coming, or is it just standard weather patterns? We'll dive into the old saying "Red sky at night, shepherd's delight" to see if there is any truth to it.
