 The sky in this picture features a dramatic gradient of vibrant pink and deep red hues, with hints of purple or violet near the top.This striking appearance is caused by Rayleigh scattering. During sunset, sunlight travels through a thicker layer of the Earth's atmosphere, which scatters away the shorter blue and violet wavelengths. This allows the longer wavelengths, like red, orange, and pink, to reach your eyes and illuminate any clouds in the sky.”
