i believe it has something to do with the light relfecting off the ice crystals in the air that causes light from the sun to still be around after sunset.

Sunlight can still be visible after sunset due to a phenomenon called twilight. During twilight, the Earth's atmosphere scatters sunlight, causing the sky to still appear lit even though the sun has already dipped below the horizon. This effect gradually fades as the sun moves further below the horizon.
