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!
Brisbane, located in the state of Queensland, is the capital of Queensland and the fourth-most populous city in Australia. The city has a population of more than 2 million people and is situated near the Queensland-New South Wales state border. Brisbane is the 26th most-populous city in the world.
Brisbane is located on the east coast of Australia and is bordered by the Queensland Border to the north, the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast hinterlands to the east and the Moreton Bay Islands and Brisbane River to the south.
Brisbane has a humid subtropical climate, with warm to hot summers and mild to cold winters. In Brisbane, the average rainfall is about 1,400 mm per year. The high temperature reaches about 37°C (99°F) in summer and about 21°C (70°F) in winter. The low temperature typically ranges from about 0°C (32°F) in winter to 14°C (57°F) in summer.
}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.
