“Soon it got dusk, a grapy dusk, a purple dusk over tangerine groves and long melon fields; the sun the color of pressed grapes, slashed with burgandy red, the fields the color of love and Spanish mysteries.”
-Jack Kerouac, "On the Road"

HOW DOES A SUNSET HAPPEN?
White light is every color of light combined. A rainbow is different waves of light separated, forming the various colors. The sky is blue during the day because the sun's white light doesn't scatter as much during sunrise or sunset.
When the sun sets, the light it's emitting isn't aimed directly at you. The light has a thicker layer of atmosphere to travel through to reach you, bending to where you are. Because of this, the most prominent colors at sunset are red / orange.

Q: If you walked out of a room with no windows and had no orientation, and saw the sun near the horizon, is there a way to determine instantly whether you were witnessing a sunrise or a sunset?
