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!

Nassau and all the details!

Nassau city is located in Nassau County, New York, on Long Island. It is the most populated city in the state and the 63rd-most populous city in the United States. The city proper has a population of 241,433, while the population of the Nassau-Suffolk County Combined Statistical Area is 536,063. The metropolitan area and population of Greater New York is over 8 million. Nassau and Suffolk are two of only three counties in New York State not located in one of the five boroughs of New York City. The others are Cattaraugus County, on the frontier of New York State with Pennsylvania, and Albany County, on the Canada–US border, which are both in New York's Southern Tier region.

Nassau is located at the eastern end of Long Island, facing the Atlantic Ocean. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the south and east, the Queens County municipalities of Hempstead and Oyster Bay to the north, and the Suffolk County municipalities of Babylon and Brookhaven to the west. The municipality of Hempstead was incorporated on November 1, 1894, and became the second-most populous city in Nassau County.

Nassau is central to business and financial services in New York State, and it also has a large concentration of media and entertainment companies, as well as a wealth of educational and scientific institutions. The city is also home to several of the world-renowned institutions of higher learning, including Hofstra University, the City University of New York's (CUNY) College of Optometry, the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University, and the New York Institute of Technology.

The nickname of "The Hub City" is based on the city's role as a transportation and commercial center. Nassau is a major port on Long Island, as well as a center for aviation and shipbuilding. The Port of Long Beach is the second-busiest container port in the United States. Several major highways – the Long Island Expressway, the Sunrise Highway, the Southern State Parkway, and the Northern State Parkway – terminate in the city. The Queens-Nassau Expressway, an extension of the New York State Thruway, also begins in Nassau.

The city has a temperate climate, with generally mild temperatures year-round. There is a moderate amount of precipitation, with the most common type being snow.

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.
