Oh, that's a lovely thought! When we look at the sky and see the sun shining brightly, we're actually seeing it as it is right now, not in the past. The warmth and light of the sun reach us instantly, bringing brightness to our world each day.5

Why is the sky red but the sun is gone?

The sun is just past the horizon, where you can't see it, but it's still close enough to cast a red glow, which is what makes the sky look red.


When you look into the sky we think you can see the past why is that?

ORIGINAL ANSWER:"Yes because you see something happen a few milliseconds after they actually happen." ADDITIONAL ANSWER: The person who answered this before me is technically correct. But another way to see into the past is just to look up at the night sky. Every star that you see is actually in the past. This is because light takes time to travel across the vast distance of space. Even the light that we see from our Sun is 8 minutes in the past.


What is the planet have you been seeing for approximately the past 2 months in the western sky at night?

That is Venus, playing its traditional role as "Evening Star". Venus passed its maximum "extension" - its angular distance from the Sun - last month, and is starting to swing around behind the Sun. By mind-March, it will be difficult to see in the evening sky. After a couple of months, Venus will swing out from behind the Sun, and become the "Morning Star" as it rises before the Sun does each morning. It repeats this morning star-evening star cycle every 10 months or so.

When you look at the sun why are you seeing it as it was rather than as it is?

The sun is 93 million miles from earth. The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. It takes the light from the sun approximately 8 minutes to travel to earth. This is the reason why when you look at the sun you are actually seeing it as it was approximately 8 minutes ago.


How can you tell Venus is in the sky?

Look toward the western part of the sky after the sun set.it the brightest object in that direction.


How far back are you looking in the past when you look at the sun?

When we observe the sun, we are actually seeing the sun as it was about 8 minutes ago because it takes light approximately 8 minutes to travel from the sun to Earth. So, in a way, we are always looking at the sun with a slight time delay.
