I don't think so but dust particles / volcanic ash does.

What color would sunsets be if molecules in the sky where orange instead of blue?

Sunsets would likely appear orange or red if the molecules in the sky were orange instead of blue. This is because the scattering of light would cause shorter blue wavelengths to disappear, leaving longer red and orange wavelengths prominent in the sky during sunset.


Why are sunsets red after a volcanic eruption?

When light from the sun passes through a greater thickness of the atmosphere more light from short wavelengths of visible light (blue and violet) is removed by scattering before it reaches your eyes leaving behind long wavelengths of visible light (red and orange) that also reflect off of clouds making them red too, that's what makes sunsets and sunrises red too because when the sun is setting or rising it's light has to pass through more gases in the atmosphere instead of in the afternoon when its high in the sky (blue sky). When volcanic ash is the air it thickens the atmosphere and can be reflected off of the particles.


Why do the cluds turn red when the sun goes down?

Clouds can appear red during sunset because they reflect the sunlight that is filtered through more of the Earth's atmosphere, including dust and water vapor, which scatters shorter wavelengths of light like blue and green, leaving the longer wavelengths of red and orange to be more prominently visible in the sky. This phenomenon creates colorful and striking sunsets.


Which color of light undergoes the smallest refraction when passing from air to glass?

Red light undergoes the smallest refraction when passing from air to glass due to its longer wavelength compared to other colors of light.


Are there hurricanes in space?

No. there is no air in space and hurricanes are strong storms with lots of organized air movement. (Emrala Arvus posting here) actually in OPEN space there are none, but you know the big red spot on Jupiter? that actually IS a huge huricain

Why are sunsets red?

Sunlight entering the atmosphere is "white" light, containing all the colors in the spectrum. Dust in the air tends to scatter the blue components of the sunlight making the sky appear blue.However, when we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colors because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight. The more dust there is in the air the more marked is this effect.

In the evening clour of the cloud is seem to be red sometime. why?

Dust in the air makes the clouds look red - there are winds blowing at high altitudes that can carry dust for hundred, and even thousands, of miles. The sun shining though the dust laden air makes the clouds appear red, and can make for beautiful sunsets... Light white is made up of 7 visible colours which can be seen during a rainbow.As the sun sets,white light from the sun passes through the water vapour in the air and other particles,causing the white light to break up into different colours.Since red has the longest wavelength,it is the colour mostly seen during sunset.


Is it true that there is a red moon?

There is truy no red moon. During a solar eclipse, it merely appears that the Earth's moon is red. The way the light crosses the atmosphere refracts this way. You get the same effect during sunsets and sunrises.


Which element is a solid and forms rust when reacted with air?

The element is iron.Rust is a general term for a series of iron oxides, usually red oxides, formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture.


Why are sunsets and sunrises different colors?

Sunsets and sunrises have different colors because of the way sunlight interacts with the Earth's atmosphere. During sunrise and sunset, sunlight has to pass through more of the Earth's atmosphere, which scatters shorter wavelengths like blue and green light, leaving longer wavelengths like red and orange to dominate the sky. This scattering effect is what gives sunsets and sunrises their vibrant colors.


Why do sky appears red during sun set?

This is because the light is travelling horizontally through the atmosphere, so we see it through a longer distance of air. The atmosphere and the dust it contains tend to scatter and absorb light at the blue end of the spectrum, leaving more red. This is why volcanic eruptions can cause even redder sunsets globally.
