It has to do with the thickness of atmosphere the light must travel through. When the sun is directly overhead the thickness is the least. When it is at an angle, such as sunrise and sunset, it must pass through more atmosphere to get to your eyes.
That results in certain light frequencies being filtered out at sunrise and sunset, giving you the deeper red and orange colors that make sunrise and sunset so pretty.

It has to do with the angle and the amounts of water vapor and pollutants the light must pass through.
This is why in sunset the sun, and sometimes moon, tends to look a lot larger. It is an optical illusion amplified by atmosphere thickness and amounts of various particles.
The above poster describes this well.

The sky is blue through unique refraction forms of the mild that the sunlight makes, even nevertheless as quickly because it nears the earth (for the time of dawn or sundown), that's no longer able to make those types, and the sky turns an amber-pink coloration.

Because angle of incidence of sun-rays on air particles in atmosphere varies.

not 100% sure about this but i think its because the angle at which the suns rays hit the atmostphere changes
