it is the reflection of the sun from the side of the earth.The sun orbits around the earth and is a bright orange color,this reflection on a dark surface make us see a red tint when it gets to that point in the evening and when it is comming back around then you see it from the other side of the earth

Weather systems typically move from west to east, and red clouds result when the sun shines on their undersides at either sunrise or sunset. At these two times of day, the sun's light is passing at a very low angle through a great thickness of atmosphere, the result of which is the absorption of most of the shorter wavelengths -- the greens, blues, and violets -- of the visible spectrum, and so sunlight is heavy at the red end of the spectrum. If the morning skies are red, it is likely that clear skies to the east permit the sun to light the undersides of moisture-bearing clouds coming in from the west. Conversely, in order to see red clouds in the evening, sunlight must have a clear path from the west in order to illuminate moisture-bearing clouds moving off to the east.

due to refraction of light through earth's atmosphere while coming from the sun, during this the red light gets refracted maximum that is why the horizon seems to be red after the sunset and before sunrise and the other colors of light get refracted to a lesser extent as compared to the red color.
