There could be several reasons for a red sky at night. One possibility is that particles or pollutants in the air can scatter short-wavelength blue light, causing the longer wavelength red light to be more visible. Another reason could be the presence of clouds reflecting the light from the setting sun, which can appear red or orange. Additionally, atmospheric conditions such as dust, smoke, or pollution can contribute to a reddish hue in the sky.
