Sunset

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!

The history of Stendal can be traced back to the early Middle Ages. The city first became an important commercial center in the 12th century when it served as a link between the East and the West. The city's importance as a commercial center was reinforced during the 16th and 17th centuries when it was the seat of the bishops of Brandenburg.
Stendal was heavily damaged during the German Revolution of 1848 and again during World War II. However, the city rebounded quickly and has since become an important economic center in western Germany. The city is home to several major companies, including BMW, Volkswagen, and Bosch.
Stendal is home to several cultural attractions, including the Goethe House and the Museum of Folk Art. The city is also home to the Westphalian Theatre, which is the oldest intact theatre in Western Germany. The city is also home to the University of Stendal, which was founded in 1793.
Today, Stendal is a cosmopolitan city that is well known for its high-quality Dresdener sausage and its Mercedes-Benz factories. The city is also home to several Protestant and Catholic churches.

}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.
