Evening sun is not a shot as the mid-day sun. What is the reason?
A
In the evening, radiations travel slowly
B
In the evening, the temperature of the sun decreases
C
Ozone in atmosphere absorbs more light in the evening
D
In the evening, radiations travel larger distance through atmosphere
Correct Answer: In the evening, radiations travel larger distance through atmosphere
Evening sun is not a shot as the mid-day sun because in the evening, radiations travel larger distance through atmosphere. Light from the sun, near the horizon, passes through thicker layers of air and covets a large distance in the earth's atmosphere before reaching our eyes. However, light from the sun overhead would travel realitively shorter distance.
