No, this sentence is not a metaphor. It is describing the scene of a sunset fading, using literal language.
She couldn't tear her gaze away from the mesmerizing sunset.
As the day progresses from noon to sunset, the sun gradually descends towards the horizon, creating longer shadows and shifting the position of sunlight. The angle of the sunlight hitting Earth changes, leading to different colors in the sky and ultimately disappearing below the horizon at sunset.
The sun can appear pink or red during sunrise or sunset due to light scattering from particles and gases in the atmosphere. This scattering causes shorter wavelengths (like blue and green) to scatter away, leaving mostly the longer wavelengths (like red and pink) visible to us.
Well, friend, sunsets can last anywhere from just a few minutes to around 30 minutes, depending on various factors like your location and time of year. One thing to remember is to appreciate the beauty in each moment, even as the sun gently says goodnight to the day.
The light from the Sun can only light up half of the Earth at a time, because it is a sphere. When one part of the Earth is facing away from the Sun, there is nothing besides the Moon and the planets to reflect sunlight back at the night side. Just after sunset and just before dawn, some of the sunlight scatters through the upper atmosphere to provide some illumination.
