Why does the sun appear reddish in the morning (as well as in evening)?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Due to the presence of fine particles in atmosphere scattering of light is caused. Scattering of light is reciproduced to wave-length of light. So red light is scattered less and spread in the sky early in the morning and evening. Other light rays are much more scattered and not visible in the sky. So, the Sun appears reddish early in the morning.
