Yesterday evening the sunset was very red. Light from the sun is scattered by dust, particles and molecules in the air, especially in the evening. (There is more dust in the air after a hot day.) Blue light (with short wavelengths) is scattered more, so it’s lost and we see red light with longer wavelengths. After sunset the sun is beyond the horizon but its red light can still reach the dust and clouds and colour them. Some sunsets are redder than others.
