This question in from Mrs Freemans Astronomy class in Idaho. Can a sunset on Mars have many different colors as an Earth sunset has?
A sunset on Mars can look somewhat different than sunsets on Earth, but they can certainly have color variations. Many images of the Martian sunset were taken during NASA’s previous rover mission (Mars Pathfinder) in 1997. Some of those sunset images can be see at http://marsprogram.jpl.nasa.gov/MPF/ops/clouds_sunset.
