This is because the light is travelling horizontally through the atmosphere, so we see it through a longer distance of air. The atmosphere and the dust it contains tend to scatter and absorb light at the blue end of the spectrum, leaving more red. This is why volcanic eruptions can cause even redder sunsets globally.
