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!

Mundelein and all the details!

{

Mundelein is a city located in Cook County, Illinois, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 61,003. It is the fourth-most populous city in the county and the largest municipality in the southern half of Cook County. Mundelein is located just northwest of the Chicago metropolitan area, and is part of the North Shore area of Chicago.

Mundelein lies in the western portion of Cook County and is bordered by Lake Michigan to the north and northeast, Naperville to the east, West Chicago to the south and southwest, and unincorporated Cook County to the west.

Mundelein is located at the intersection of Interstate 290 and Interstate 88/Illinois Route 217, and is also adjacent to the municipalities of Mokena, Warrenville, Round Lake, Libertyville, and Geneva.

Mundelein has a total area of 26.5 square miles (68 km2), of which, 23.4 square miles (60 km2) is land and 3.1 square miles (8 km2) is water.

The first Europeans to visit what is now Mundelein were the French in the mid-1700s. In 1815 the first landowner in what would become Mundelein Township was John OLeary, who built a chicken feed lot on the southeast corner of Lake Michigan and Wabash Avenue. OLeary had emigrated from Tipperary, Ireland in 1802, and started a farm and blacksmith shop on the site where Mundelein today stands.

In 1837, the township of Mundelein was created from a portion of Warren Township. The first settler in Mundelein Township was Asa Candler, who built a cabin on the banks of the Fox River where O'Hare International Airport now stands.

In 1872, Fredrick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux toured the Midwest and stopped in Mundelein on their return trip. Olmsted was so impressed with the township's potential for development that he designed the planned community for what would become Lake Forest, just to the south of Mundelein.

In 1884, a disastrous fire destroyed most of Mundelein. The town rebuilt on a larger scale, and in 1885 it incorporated as a village.

In 1921, a devastating fire again destroyed most of Mundelein. The town again rebuilt, this time on the plan designed by Edward D. Lawler, who also designed the communities of Geneva, Gilman, and Antioch.

Mundelein was incorporated as a city in 1961.

As of the census of 2000, there were 55,298 people, 24,414 households, and 16,304 families residing in the city. The population density was 2,352.

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.
