Question

) Rising and setting sun appears to be reddish because
A) the sun is colder at sunrise or at sunset B) diffraction sends red rays to the earth at these times C) refraction is responsible for it D) scattering due to dust particles and air molecules is responsible for it

Answer 1

Hey mate here is your answer..
it's d..

Answer 2

Answer:

It is caused by scattering caused by dust particles and air molecules.

Explanation:

• Red light waves are scattered the least by atmospheric gas molecules within the visible range of light.
• When sunlight travels a lengthy way through the atmosphere to reach our eyes at sunrise and sunset, the blue light has been mostly removed, leaving predominantly red and yellow light.
• As a result, shorter wavelength light has a higher chance of being dispersed than longer wavelength light.
• As a result, the Sun (along with sunrise and sunset) appears reddish orange during sunset and sunrise. The size and number of scattering particles have an impact on the scattering.
