"The color blue has the shortest wavelength on the visible spectrum scale," Braud said. "During the day, the sun is at its closest point to Earth’s surface wherever you are in the world, light scattering will be at a maximum giving us vibrant blue colors." While certain clouds won’t make the colors more vibrant, things like dust or other particles in the air will."When comparing an aerosol to air molecules, the aerosol is much larger and irregular in shape," Braud said. "This introduces a new type of scattering called Mie scattering."

Who ever says that science it’s to thank that beautiful sunset, it’s a fool. It’s so pathetic that now people get insulted if you mentioned the word GOD!! Say it like it really is GOD created that sunshine, YOU FOOL!!

I feel a greenhouse gas emissions/ global warming joke is not acceptable here.

I don’t believe a science as a discipline causes the sunrises and sunsets. It’s PHYSICS that explains it.

Or God. You can thank God
