Hey Dear,

◆ Answer -

Rayleigh scattering

● Explaination -

• During sunrise/sunset light rays from sun travel a larger part of atmospherre.
• During this particles in atmosphere scatter most of light rays, except red light which has maximum wavelngth.
• As most of the light rays reaching us are red, sun appears red during sunrise/sunset.
