why is the sky orange at night sometimes?

Answer 1

Pollution!

I live in a rural area, very small town. The sky only becomes orange at night here when there is a forest fire near with smoke blowing our way.

Or

If we have an "inversion"** for several days during the winter when people are heating their homes with fire wood.

** An inversion is a weather phenomenon that occurs in valleys. Warm air is trapped under a layer of cool air. That is why Los Angeles often has such terrible smog.

Answer 2

The sky is orange at night sometimes because of the sun light shining off of the clouds from the other side of the earth from an angle.

Answer 3

Do you mean after sunset? Obviously, a sunset can cause the sky to be orange. The glow of city lights, perhaps; also, pollution will sometimes give an orange hue. Then there is the borealis...
