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!

Oxbow City is located in the heart of the magnificent Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. With its dramatic river falls and dramatic mountains, Oxbow City is a wonderfully preserved small town that feels like a time warp from the early 1900s.

The city is nestled at the foot of the Oxbow Plateau, which is traversed by the Historic Columbia River Highway. The Oxbow Plateau is a spectacular region and is home to many famous attractions, such as Multnomah Falls, The Lunchbox, Roaring River and Benson State Park.

The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area is one of the most important national parks in the US, ranking in the top ten percent of all US national parks. The park is home to spectacular forests and wild rivers, great places to hike, bike, camp and catch a trout. Oxbow City is a perfect place to base yourself to explore the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.

Oxbow City is located in eastern Oregon, just west of the Idaho border. The city is served by the city of Portland, Oregon, which is just over an hour away by car. The closest state capitals are Salem and Eugene, both in Oregon.

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.
