Why Do We Have Coloured Sunsets
Coloured sunsets happen because of Rayleigh scattering
As the Sun sets, its light travels through more of Earth’s atmosphere, scattering away shorter blue and violet wavelengths
This allows longer red, orange, and yellow wavelengths to reach our eyes
Dust, water droplets, and clouds can make these colours even more vivid
