Most people know that sunset is the time when the sun goes down. But did you know that the sun doesn't actually set? Instead, Earth rotates into darkness, giving us the illusion that the sun is setting. So what causes sunset?
Well, it's a combination of things. The Earth's atmosphere scatters sunlight in every direction, but blue and violet light are scattered more than other colors. This is why the sky is usually blue during the daytime. As the sun gets lower in the sky, the atmosphere becomes thicker and more dense.
This scattering of sunlight happens to a greater extent, and we see red and orange light more than blue and violet light. That's why sunset is usually a beautiful red or orange color. So next time you see sunset, remember that you're actually seeing Earth rotate into darkness!
Boxholm is a city on the southern coast of Sweden, bordering Öland to the east, Kappeln to the north, Helsingborg to the west, and Södermanland to the south. The city has a population of 58,000 and is located on the Karesuando Bay.
Boxholm was founded in 1486 by an invited group of Danish settlers. It was originally named Frederiksberg (or Frederiksborget), in honour of Frederick III, King of Denmark and Sweden. The city's original charter, granted in 1487, stated that the city would have a fort and be self-governing.
Boxholm was the administrative centre of the Diocese of Karesuando from the 16th century to 1976. Today, the city is an administrative centre of the County of Boxholm.

}As the sun sets, the sky slowly grows dark. For many people, this is a time to relax and wind down for the day. But have you ever wondered exactly when it gets dark? The answer may surprise you.
Did you know that darkness actually begins long before the sun sets? As the sun gets lower in the sky, its light has to travel through more atmosphere. This filters out some of the blue light, making the sun look redder. At the same time, shadows get longer and darker. So by the time the sun finally dips below the horizon, darkness has already begun to fall.
Of course, not all places on Earth experience darkness at the same time. Near the equator, the sun sets and rises almost directly overhead. This means that there is less of a difference between daytime and nighttime. Closer to the poles, however, the sun stays low in the sky for much of the year. This leads to longer periods of darkness during wintertime.
