why does the sun, in the moring kook orange, just as its comming up.?

Answer 1

The sun looks different in the morning because of the angle you're seeing it from. When the sun is in its noon position, and you're seeing it through just the atmosphere over your head. When it just comes up, though, you're looking at it through a denser atmosphere. Also, you may be seeing it rise over a city. If you are, that would make the effect stronger.

What's happening with the denser atmosphere and perhaps the city pollution is that the air and particles between you and the sun are refracting more light. When the particles reflect more light, less light gets through to you, and that changes how your eyes perceive the light that you are receiving.

The same phenomenon happens when the moon rises and appears to be different colors or sizes.

Answer 2

It really has nothing to do with the sun---but with the fact that our globe rotates on it's axis, therefore creating day and night. The sun's rays travel and hit the point of rotation where it starts dawn. Think of a mirror and how it reflects the light. Basically there is the same thing going on, only that the back of the earth where it is nighttime is slowly rotating. The constant reflection of the sun's rays is what makes it seem orange at that time. The best place to see how it works is at the ocean where the sun comes up and the top of the sun turns yellow whereas the bottom is still orange.

If you ever traveled overseas, then you probably saw it high in the sky when you fly from daytime into nighttime. Everything turns from bright to almost purple before it becomes pitch black.(Thats because we fly faster than the earth rotates.

Answer 3

It's the same for sunset, of course, but the question was about the sunrise. You must have a good idea of when sunrise occurs because it is much harder to determine it than for the sunset. It is always a neat thing to see the first ray of sun light from the "upper limb" (the top of the sun's disk) peek over the horizon. The sun, you know, is still below the horizon then but the rays are bent by refraction caused by the earth's atmosphere - which also filters out some of the blue and violet rays through its thickness - and so the light reaches us even so. The preachers used to say, "When that early pencil-thin ray begins to seek its first meridian in the sky all the way until that great fireball lays itself down to rest".

Answer 4

Just like the rainbow effect when light passes trough water vapor in the air the prism affect is noticed as the breakdown of light into its color spectrum, as the earth rotates two wards the sun the light is refracted trough the water vapors and the angle of the sun to the horizon determines how much light is passing trough the water. The lower volume of light usually refracts trough the water as a blue or purple then as more sunlight is filtered trough the prism the colors will move to the white end. This of course is Solly dependent on the amount of moisture in the atmosphere so the more humidity the more spectacular the effect will be.

Answer 5

The angle that the sun's rays are coming in makes the rays have to go though more of the atmosphere then when it is higher in the sky. Since it goes though all of that the particles in the air absorbed and reflect some rays and the ones that get though are the reds and the oranges

Answer 6

In the morning the sun is too far away from us. As the earth gets closer to the sun the view becomes clearer & brighter as it passes through its orbit

Answer 7

The sun's passing through more of the atmosphere.

Answer 8

Well there are particles in the air and when the sun hits them they reflect different colors.

Answer 9

it is comming through the clouds and the smog level will change the look and some times it is really pretty.

Answer 10

because of the way the light refracts through the atmosphere, i think. and because of the angle the light comes in at.
