Why are sunsets colorful? When light enters our atmosphere, tiny particles suspended in the air scatter the light into its separate colors Low levels of particles makes the sky look blue, like the skyBut as more colors are added the colors get closer to orange and red When the sun is near the horizon, the light is passing through more atmosphere to reach our eyes This means the light is scattered more leading to the bright orange and red sunsets. #naturalists #naturalistlife #naturalistic #natur
