Why is the sky orange and red at sunrise and sunset? a. gases absorb orange and red light. b. blue wavelengths are absorbed by the atmosphere. c. the thick atmosphere scatters all but longer wavelengths. d. only short wavelengths are radiated from the sun in the morning and evening.

The correct answer is option C) The thick atmosphere scatters all but longer wavelengths

Explanation:

The sky is orange and red at sunrise at sunset because  The thick atmosphere scatters all but longer wavelengths.

The visible range of light, red light waves are scattered the least by atmospheric gas molecules. Therefore at sunrise and sunset, the rays of longer wavelength give the effect of red light texture in the sky while other smaller wavelengths scatter away.
