Question

Assertion: Reddening of the sun at the sunrise and the sunset is due to the reflection

of sunlight

Reason: scattering of light results in the reddening of sun at sunrise and sunset
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Scattering due to dust particles and air molecules causes the phenomenon.

Explanation:

. During sunset and sunrise, the rays have to travel a larger part of the atmosphere because they are very close to the horizon. Therefore, light other than red is mostly scattered away. Most of the red light, which is the least scattered, enters our eyes. Hence, the sun appears red.
