The reason behind the sun looking reddish in the morning is explained below.
- The sunlight travels through the earth's thick atmosphere to reach the ground and us.
- So, when it is near the horizon or during the sunrise or sunset, we see it red as red colour in the sunlight has the longest wavelength.
- Thus, there is more probability for shorter wavelength light to get more scattered than for the longer wavelength light.
- During noon, it appears white and the sky appears blue because of the same opposite reason.
- Which is the sun stays directly above us during noon and the light travels with a shorter wavelength.
