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!
TSAILE, Arizona --- Tsaile is a city located in Yavapai County, Arizona, United States. As of the 2010 census, the population was 5,706, up from 4,874 as of the 2000 census. It is the second fastest growing city in Arizona, after Valleyview. Tsaile is the county seat of Yavapai County. The city is near the geographic center of Arizona and is home to the Eastern Arizona Federal Correctional Complex, [3] one of thirteen federal prisons in the State of Arizona.
The city is located in the White Mountains Desert Basin, rising from the east on the flanks of the Pinaleno Mountains to an elevation of 4,640 feet at the summit of Mount Graham. To the north and northwest are the Rogers Peak, Santa Catalina and Mount Humphrey Ranges, while to the south and southeast are the Superstition Mountains. The San Francisco Peaks, the highest in the area, rise to an elevation of 11,006 feet.
Along the San Francisco Peaks and on the eastern side of the basin, the Mogollon Rim rises to elevations of 10,000 feet. The Mogollon Rim is a -shaped rim of resistant sandstone and shale that circumscribes the eastern edge of the basin. The rim is a critical ecological unit, providing habitat for numerous bird species, including the golden eagle. The city is located in the northwestern corner of the basin, adjacent to the Gila Monster National Monument and the New Mexico state line.
The White Mountains Desert Basin was formed more than 20 million years ago by the collision of the North American and Pacific tectonic plates. The basin is approximately 390 miles long and 125 miles wide, bounded on the north by the San Francisco Peaks, on the east by the Pinaleno Mountains, on the south by the Superstition Mountains, and on the west by the Salt River Mountains.
Within the basin are numerous creeks and intermittent streams, as well as the Gila River, which has its headwaters in the basin. The Gila River is the primary water source for Phoenix and the entire Phoenix metropolitan area.
Today, the basin is occupied by a number of ranches and farms, as well as National Forest and Bureau of Land Management lands. The city is located in Yavapai County, along U.S. Highway 260 and Oracle Road.
The Santa Cruz River and the Hassayampa River flow into the San Francisco River near Phoenix. U.S. Route 80, which runs the length of the basin, is the major east-west highway. Interstate 10, which intersects U.S. Highway 260 near the city, forms the major north-south highway.

}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.
