The Martian sunset is the scnenery in which the Sun sets on Mars. Captured in a few pictures and videos by a few Mars rovers, we find out that it would be a beautiful scenery to an observer on the surface of Mars.

The Martian atmosphere will make the sky look butterscotch and the setting Sun would begin to look blue. Because of Mars's relatively far distance from the Sun compared to the Earth, the Sun would also look 40% smaller and 25% dimmer than we see on the Earth. As the Sun begins to set in the western sky, the sky will darken, until finally the sky will turn completely dark with no source of light except for Mars's moons Phobos and Deimos, the planets outside Mars's orbit (since Mercury, Venus, and the Earth would be morning/evening "stars"), and stars.
