Answer 1

pink at night sailor's delight pink in the morning sailors warning. Just think of it like this your atleast going to have nice weather tomorrow. It is also because of the sunset

Answer 2

The terrestrial "blue sky" comes about because molecules of the atmosphere scatter sunlight. In this image, the Martian sky appears pink and a little bit dark at sunset. This is because there are not enough molecules in the atmosphere to scatter the amount of light we are used to seeing on Earth, and also the many rusty-colored dust particles in the atmosphere contribute to the pink color. If you would like to know why the Earth's sky is blue, Just that they follow their cellular instructions to reach up, out, into the atmosphere for light

Answer 3

The pollution content of the atmosphere has made for some spectacular sunsets in recent years, enhancing natural colors. Red and shades of red result from the Doppler effect in a process called reddening. The combination of the two is probably what caused your pink sky. I have seen it turn the whole horizon green, which was really cool.

Answer 4

It's a girl sky. Blue for boys, pink for girls.

Must be some equal-opportunity thing goin' on...

Answer 5

light is made up of all different colours, and because the earth is round, at different times of day the light hits our atmosphere at different angles letter more or less of certain colours in. Like what you put a pen in a glass of water and it looks like it has split, its simply the light bending through the water.
