Best Answer

The primariy reason the sunset is reddish is because of fine dust particles suspended in the air near the earth. When the light is coming at us "sideways" at sunset, this is more obvious. The sky is blue because the gasses in our atmosphere - mostly nitrogen - scatter blue light more than any other color.
