Why is the sky never the same color blue as the sun sets or rises?
well actually ; when the sun sets or rises , at the both times it is on the horizon , which means that part of the earth is at a more distance from the earth than the rest ; Under this conditions , red color light is scattered more ( because pure sunlight is white in color & white light is made of 7 colors namely : Red , orange , yellow, green , blue, indigo & violet ( colors of the rainbow) But when the sun is not at the horizon the blue component is scattered the most & hence sky appears blu most of the time ; but when the sun is at the horizon ; the red component is scattered most & hence the sky appears red) HOPE THAT ANSWERS THE QUESTION ^_^
