What is it sunset?

  • Sunset

  • Twilight

  • Darkness

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!

Maspeth is a borough located in Queens County, New York, United States. The population was 54,763 at the 2010 census.

The area now comprising Maspeth was purchased from the Matinecock Indians in 1654 by Thomas Flower, a Tory captain in Cromwell's New Model Army. The 8-block-by-8-block area was located southeast of today's downtown Maspeth, north of present-day Port Richmond, and east of present day Middle Village. The first European settlement there was built on what is now Leffert's Corners in 1814 by an enslaved man from the Bahamas, Leffert Browne. Browne had originally purchased the land from the same Matinecock Indian chief who had sold it to Flower.

The first known Jewish settler in Maspeth was Solomon Lazarowitz, who arrived in 1851. He built a small home on what is now Maspeth Avenue near Nephi Avenue. In 1860, J.B. Levy, a woolen merchant, built a larger home at the corner of Bushwick Avenue and 44th Road. Due to its rural feel, Maspeth was rural until the late nineteenth century.

In 1892, the New York and Queens County Electric Railway built a railroad line through Maspeth. With the growing population and commercialization of the area, new neighborhoods began to form. The first of these, Breezy Point, was built in the early 1920s on the marshlands north of present-day Creek and Rego Streets. It was followed by Elmhurst in the late 1920s on what is now the southern border of Maspeth, and Midwood in the late 1930s to the northwest of present-day Maspeth Avenue.

As Maspeth began to develop, it was met with many challenges. The community was initially struggling to get off the ground as its population was mostly composed of working-class families. However, Maspeth has since made great strides and continues to grow. The borough has a population density of 4,348 people per square mile, making it among the most densely populated areas in New York City.

Maspeth is located at 43°24'12"N 73°36'48"W.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough has a total area of , of which is land and (3.3%) is water.

The Census Bureau has defined Maspeth as extending south from 37th Ave and east from 43rd Ave to Orient Ave and west from Grand Ave and Mechanicsville Turnpike to 39th Ave.

Maspeth is serviced by the Maspeth-Woodside subway station on the New York City Subway's IND Eighth Avenue Line.

As of the census of 2000, there were 54,

What time does it get dark?

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.
