Yes! During sunrise, the sky is a paler blue and somehow or other, everything appears lighter. During sunset, however, the sky takes on deeper colours and you can see that it looks darker overall. ________________ I'm a little skeptical about the above, but not quite ready to dismiss the possibility. Since over time the sky brightens at sunrise and dims at sunset, there may be neuropsychological or psychophysical changes that our senses can detect, but again, I am skeptical. There are ways to distinguish between sunrise and sunset that are more definitive, especially if you can observe the events over time, and not instantaneously as you would in a photograph or a moment's view. I'm going to assume that observations are being made from either temperate zone or the tropics. The painfully obvious way is to simply notice whether the sun is coming up or going down. Another way is to check the direction you are facing, if possible. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. This would work for a photograph also, if you can absolutely identify the direction from the photographic evidence. You might also be able to determine one from the other by knowing the habits of local fawna. Behaviors might be markedly different at these two times for some local species. The most painfully obvious way, all things being normal, is the simple awareness of your location and the time of day.

∙ 12y agoWell the sun itself isn't either. I would guess sunset however, if you mean if it's averagely hotter out. My reason why, is by the time sunset has occurred, the sun has already had all day to heaten everything as much as it would, while in sunrise the night still has the say on the temperature.

What moon is visible above the western horizon a couple of hours before sunrise?
The waning gibbous
How often can you see a moon in the night?
Any moon apart from the new moon can be seen in the night sky, although the only moon phase that is above the horizon the entire night is the full moon. The gibbous phases either rise just before sunset or set after sunrise, the quarter phases either rise or set at midnight and the crescent phases either rise shortly before sunrise or set shortly before sunset.
What moon is visible above the eastern horizon a couple of hours before sunrise?
According to the book I have (Horizons by Seeds) it is the waning crescent
What time is dawn?
Dawn is the time that marks the beginning of the twilight before sunrise. It is recognized by the presence of weak sunlight, while the sun itself is still below the horizon. Dawn should not be confused with sunrise, which is the moment when the leading edge of the sun itself appears above the horizon
Name of bright star in western sky just above the horizon in Missouri?
Currently, near sunset and for a couple of hours after that, that is the planet Venus
Is sunrise one word?
Yes, "sunrise" is one word when referring to the time of day when the sun appears above the horizon.
How do you tell when it is sunrise and sunset?
Sunrise is when the sun first appears above the horizon in the morning, while sunset is when the sun disappears below the horizon in the evening. You can also use tools like a clock or calendar to determine the exact times for sunrise and sunset in your location.
What does sunrise mean?
Sunrise is the moment that the leading edge (sometimes called limb) of the sun first breaks above the horizon. Sunset is the moment that the trailing edge (the last of the sun as we observe it) disappears below the horizon.
Why is sun rise and sunset considered as periodic change?
Sunrise and sunset are considered as periodic changes because they occur every day in a cyclical pattern due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. This rotation causes the sun to appear above the horizon in the morning (sunrise) and then dip below the horizon in the evening (sunset, indicating the end of the day). This daily repetition makes sunrise and sunset a predictable and regular occurrence.
What is the compare and contrast of sunset and sunrise?
Sunset and sunrise both mark the beginning or end of the day and involve the sun dipping below or rising above the horizon. Sunset typically features warmer colors like orange and red, while sunrise tends to include cooler tones like pink and purple. Sunsets are often associated with the end of activities, while sunrises symbolize the start of new beginnings.
How long does the sunlight stay up in the fall in south pole?
The pole experiences one sunrise and one sunset each year. A sunrise/sunset is defined as the orb being 50% above or below the horizon. From March 21 to June 21, there would be no sunrise.
Can a total solar eclipse happen during sunrise sunset or twilight in relation to an observer?
It can happen at any time of day - while the Sun is above the horizon, of course, otherwise you won't see a solar eclipse.
Why does the sun falls earlier in fall?
As Autumn approaches, the Sun's travel across the sky is lower above the horizon, and therefore shorter between sunrise and sunset.
What is atmospheric refraction of sunrise and sunset?
Atmospheric refraction is the bending of light as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere. During sunrise and sunset, the Sun appears to be slightly above the horizon when it is actually below it due to this effect. This bending causes the Sun to be visible a few minutes before it physically rises and a few minutes after it physically sets.
Why stars appear slightly above the horizon?
the sun is at sunset that way so the horizon is a bit dark
Does the sunset on Christmas day in the Antarctic?
No, the sun stays above the horizon for the whole of Christmas day, at an angle of 23.5 degrees above the horizon.
How can the moon be visible to day and at the same time night?
The Moon is visible as long as it is above the horizon. On average, the Moon is above the horizon approximately 12 hours 25 minutes at a time, and below the horizon the next 12 hours 25 minutes.
