Animated videos of computer simulated sunsets show what the sky might look like if you were looking up through a super-wide camera lens from Venus, Mars, Uranus or Titan.

The sunset on Uranus fades from a bright blue to royal blue with hints of turquoise, according to NASA scientists who have simulated sunsets on other planets and moons.The simulations were created using a computer modelling tool built for a possible mission to UranusVideos of the simulations show the sunset from the perspective of someone standing on the worlds' surfaces

Videos of the simulations were released by NASA this week using the known colours of the sky on Uranus and other worlds.According to NASA, during sunset, photons get scattered in different directions as these worlds rotate away from the Sun's light."When sunlight — which is made up of all the colours of the rainbow — reaches Uranus's atmosphere, hydrogen, helium and methane absorb the longer-wavelength red portion of the light," a statement from NASA says of the simulation.

The Mars sunset turns from a brownish colour to blue because Martian dust particles scatter the blue colour more effectively, according to the statement.
