The horizon seems pale yellow during sunset and sunrise because the sunlight refracts through the atmosphere, only allowing colors like reds and yellows to show through.

How can the sky be pink?

The color of the sky depends on the position of the sun and its glare on the atmosphere. The clouds surrounding the sun and where you are on Earth also effects what color 'your' sky is. During sunset and sometimes sunrise, the sky is a pinkish color. During the day, it is usually cyan or light blue. The sky can also be gray, yellow, red, or purple. It is gray or black at nighttime.


Why is the sun orange in appearance?

It's more of a white colour in space, but scattering of the light within our atmosphere gives it more of a yellow colour, or orange when it is closer to sunrise or sunset (more atmosphere to penetrate at these angles)

Why does the sun appear yellow while the light it gives off is neutral white?

Sunlight is effectively "white light", and the yellow color is produced by the scattering of light by the atmosphere. This is easily seen near sunrise and sunset, where the additional atmospheric distance and angle make the Sun appear red.


What eliminates yellow jackets?

Insecticides and traps are ways to kill yellow jackets. The insects in question can be controlled best in the early summer weeks by setting up mechanical, non-toxic traps and using aerosols or dusts after sunset and before sunrise, during which times yellow jackets are resting underground. Treatment is most effective during sub-50°F/10°C temperatures -- when the perceived pests cannot fly -- through professional services, with head-to-toe personal protective equipment.
