Typically, when the sun is setting in a clear sky, it gets redder and redder due to the refraction of light causing by thicker and thicker layers of atmosphere. When I get up in the morning and the sun is at about the same angles above the horizon, it doesn't appear red. Yellowish, maybe, but not the intense red of sunset.
Any ideas? I've seen this in many places - some polluted, some not; some by the ocean, some inland. Definite puzzlement for me.

it does not look different, it may be a temperature thing

I shall myself check. It could be due to different atmospheric condition, temperature being one such condition as the continuous change in refractive index of the layers of atmosphere can depend on such factors.

Because the sun's passage overhead throughout the day creates tremendous changes in the atmosphere through which it is viewed. (water vapor, etc)

they're at the same angle but in the morning the sun is moving up so it may apear more yellow at sunset the sun is moving away

on the 2d, the two first gentle and sundown look slightly farther south on a daily basis. on the tip of December, the solar reaches it is maximum southerly factor and first gentle and sundown will start to flow northwards returned.

it is due to the light, you can ask your Physics teacher about it. I cant explain that to you because I am shortage of this language.
