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!
Tulare, California, is a city located in the Central Valley of California. Located near the eastern edge of the San Joaquin Valley, Tulare is roughly 160 miles east of Los Angeles and about the same distance north of Fresno. The city has a population of about 158,000 as of 2015, making it the fifth largest city in California after Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, and San Diego. Tulare is also the largest city in the Inland Empire region and the population is projected to reach 199,000 in 2020. Tulare is derived from the Native American words tunlār and tule which means "burnt ground" or "place of the tule plant."
Tulare is located at the edge of the San Joaquin Valley and is bordered by Fresno to the east, Visalia to the southeast, Hanford to the south, and Porterville to the west. It is unclear when Tulare was first settled, but it likely became an established town by the early 1900s. Tulare's earliest known inhabitants were the Luiseño, whose presence in the region is evidenced by numerous Luiseño burial sites in and around the city. The first Euro-American to visit Tulare was generally considered to be Father Francisco Garces, who passed through the valley on his way from California to Arizona in 1776. Tulare was later visited by Stephen C. Fremont in 1823 and John C. Frémont in 1846, and it became a stop on the overland emigrant trail.

}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.
