why does the sun appear reddish early in the morning will this phenomenon be observed by Astronaut on the Moon give reason to justify your answer

Hey mate ☺
Sun appear reddish early in the morning because of following reasons:
---->The light rays from the sun travel more distance in atmosphere to reach our eye in the morning and evening times.
--->During sunrise and sunset except red colour all colours will dissappear before they reach us.
---> As red colour has maximum wavelength and scattered less in atmosphere during sunrise and sunset . Hence red colour reaches us.
---> As a result sun appear red in colour during sunrise and sunset time.
The same phenomenon cannot be observed by an astronaut on the moon as there is no atmosphere . The sky looks dark.Because for scattering of light we requires colloidal particles in atmosphere .
Hope it helps you ☺✌✌
During sunset and sunrise,the light entering from the sun has to travel a long distance before reaching us,the lights of shorter wavelengths like blue get scattered away.Thus it is the light of maximum wavelength that is able to cover a long distance.But when observed from moon it's black as their is absence of particles.Thus scattering doesn't happen.Hope it helped...
