Why does the Sun appear reddish early in the morning?


Answer :



In the early morning, as the Sun rises above horizon, light from the sun has to cover a larger distance in the denser medium of the

earth’s atmosphere before reaching our eyes. The blue light due to shorter wavelength gets scattered in the half way

and not visible in the sky. Only the red light which has larger wavelength is able to reach our eyes due to less scattering.
