When the sun is low in the sky, that's the time when its light has to pass through the most air on its way to you, so the effects of the air are greatest at that time. The effects of air are: -- absorbing shorter wavelengths more than longer wavelengths, making the light more red, -- bending the light slightly down from a straight path, causing the sun to appear higher than it should.
What else can I help you with?
Can The atmosphere produce the same effects as a prism when the Sun is low in the sky?
Yes, when the Sun is low in the sky, its light passes through more atmosphere, causing scattering of shorter wavelengths (blue and green light) and allowing longer wavelengths (red and orange light) to be more prominent. This can create a similar effect to a prism by separating light into its component colors.
How does the sun effect the sky's color?
The sun's position in the sky affects the color of the sky. During sunrise and sunset, the sun is lower in the sky, and its light has to travel through more of Earth's atmosphere. This scatters shorter wavelengths of light, like blues and greens, leaving longer wavelengths, such as reds and oranges, to dominate the sky's color.
Does the moon have light in it?
The moon does not produce its own light. It reflects light from the sun, which is why we can see it shining in the night sky.
Does moon in the sky emits light?
No, it reflects the light from the sun onto the Earth.
When does the sun look low in the sky?
The sun looks low in the sky during sunrise and sunset. This is because the sunlight has to pass through more of the Earth's atmosphere, causing it to appear redder and softer compared to when the sun is higher in the sky.
What colors are the sky?
The sun gives of light the form of white light. The sun's light is reflected by the sea which is blue. This is why the sky is blue.
Where is the sun in the winter?
Low in the sky

What is the homophone for male child and light in sky?

Does Pluto get little sun light?

Is a star in the sky a small sun?
yes the star in the sky small sun and the star one of composition of sun that giving a light on night to help .and on day their is greater light is the sun it helpful .thank you get all about on google.com
During which season does the sun appear highest in the sky and during which season does the sun sppear low in the sky?
Late spring, summer and early fall the sun appears high in the sky, late fall, winter and early spring, it appears to be low in the sky. this is caused by earth's tilting when orbiting around the sun and rotating on it's axis.
Explain why the sky is red when looking towards the rising or setting sun?
Remember the blue light we talked about? That blue light was scattered OUT of the light from the sun. So when we look towards the Sun when it is at a low angle so its light is passing through a lot of air (like around sunset or sunrise) we are seeing "blue depleted" light -- which leaves RED light.
Can you get a sun tan when the sun is low?
Yes, you can get a tan when the sun is low in the sky. But it will take longer because the most effective tanning rays are those from the upper end of the spectrum, and the atmosphere scatters them more readily than light from the lower end of the spectrum. That means that when the sun is lower in the sky, fewer of the tanning rays will reach the skin of the sunbather.
Does moon in the sky emits light?
No, it reflects the light from the sun onto the Earth.
