Hi fellow Steemians! Imawreader here! I would like to share another photo from my 'In Mobigraph series #02: A cloudy sunset.' This was captured in front of our home. (That's a rice field in front.)
The daily disappearance of the Sun below the horizon is called Sunset or Sundown. This phenomenon is a result of the Earth's rotation. Sunset creates unique atmospheric conditions such as the often intense orange and red colors of the Sun and the surrounding sky.
Sunset is different from twilight. Twilight has three phases;
The first one is civil twilight. It begins once the Sun has disappeared below the horizon and continues until it descends to 6 degrees below the horizon. The second phase is nautical twilight. It is nautical twilight when the sun is in between 6 and 12 degrees below the horizon. The third is astronomical twilight. Astronomical twilight is the period when the Sun is between 12 and 18 degrees below the horizon.
At the very end of astronomical twilight is Dusk. It is the darkest moment of twilight just before night. Night occurs when the Sun reaches 18 degrees below the horizon and no longer illuminates the sky.
Do you have anything in mind? Comment down below, I would love to read them!
