Why does sun become red at sunrise and sunset everyday?

You must have seen the sun in the morning or evening. What is the color of the sun at that time?

Yes, at that time the color of the sun turns red. But you have ever wondered why this happens! During the day, the sun turns white, sometimes yellow, but why does it look red in the evening? Does the color of the sun change over time? Sun looks red at sunrise and sunset. Actually, sunrise and sunset occur in the sun horizon. (Horizon is the place where earth and sky meet with meeting each other)

When the sun is in the horizon, at that time, the sun's rays have to cross the most atmospheric particles (to the air molecules) to reach our eyes. (When Suraj is on the top of our head, the dew is the sun that the rays have to cross the least atmospheric particles to reach our eyes.) As much as the atmosphere goes, the more nitrogen Molecules. When photons collide with nitrogen molecules, nitrogen molecules absorb those photons and then eject them again. This absorption and the process of emission is also called scattering of light. We know that the red color that has the highest wavelength of the rays and the lowest of the blue wavelength of blue. The radiation with the smallest wavelength is the most expansive. The less the wavelength means the more rays of that color will spread. When the sun's radiation enters our environment, the red color enters directly, but the blue, the pink and the other colors break in the atmosphere and can not reach our eyes. The sun's rays are most frequent in sunrise and sunset. It has to go through the environment, and the more atmosphere the scattering of light is. The more scattering it is, the more common the low-wavelength rays sold. The sale becomes so much that blue, pink, yellow color gets scattered in the sky and we just see the red sun. Therefore, the sun comes to us only in the morning and evening, not white or yellow.
