How do you use sunset in a sentence?

Answer 1

A sunset is what occurs as the sun passes below the horizon in the transition from day to night. Because of the way light is refracted from the low angle, they often appear a brilliant red or orange colour. Note that 'sun set' is not the same thing - 'sunset' is a noun, whereas 'sun set' is a noun and a verb - telling us what the sun did (it set).

E.g.

• As the sun set the sky turned a bright pink colour.
• The sunset caused the sky to turn a bright pink colour.

Here are some more examples using the noun.

• The sunset was breathtakingly beautiful.
• Lets go to the beach and watch the sunset.
