    Colorful Clouds Observed at Sunset

      Summary Author:  Spyros Antonopoulos   
      
      The photo above showing colorful cloud colors at sunset was taken near   
      Chalkeia, Greece. Of course, the  color of a cloud depends primarily   
      upon the color of the light it receives. When the  Sun is low in the   
      sky, because the  path the Sun's rays take across the sky is longer   
      than if they were coming from straight above (zenith), the shorter   
      wavelength colors (greens and blues) tend to be scattered from our   
      view. This leaves the red, yellow and orange colors to paint any clouds   
      lying in the track of the Sun's lingering rays. The closer the Sun is   
      to the horizon, the longer the path-length of its rays, and thus the   
      redder the color. Photo taken on July 10, 2022.
