There are no sunsets on the moon as there is no atmosphere to scatter light and create the colorful gradients seen on Earth. The moon's sky goes from light to dark very quickly as the sun sets.

How do volcanoes cause sunsets?

Volcanic eruptions release ash and aerosols into the atmosphere, which can scatter sunlight and create vivid sunsets by filtering and diffusing the light. The particles in the air can absorb certain wavelengths of light, leading to the vibrant reds and oranges often seen during volcanic sunsets.


What can occur long after a volcanic eruption?

brilliantly colored sunrises and sunsets


What would you see in a eclipse?

In a Lunar Eclipse, you see the full moon suddenly with a small "bite" out of it, as the Moon enters the Earth's shadow. The darkened area will grow and grow. In a partial eclipse, the shadow then starts to slide off of the Moon (actually, the Moon is passing beside the shadow, without being completely darkened). In a total eclipse, the Moon gets darker and darker until it is entirely within the Earth's shadow. Then something marvelous happens. Once the Moon is completely in the shadow of the Earth, you would think that the Moon would be completely dark, but it isn't; the Moon becomes a deep red! The direct light of the Sun can no longer hit the Moon, because the Moon is in Earth's shadow; but the red light refracted AROUND the Earth continues out into space and lights the Moon a dim red color. The red light is the red of the sunsets and sunrises all around the world!


Where is a good place to find pics of moon and weather in action?

You can find pictures of the moon and weather in action on websites such as NASA's official website, The Weather Channel, and various photography websites or social media platforms like Instagram or Flickr. You can also follow relevant hashtags on social media to discover new and captivating images.


What percentage of the solar spectrum is visible light and how does it change during the day?

Visible light makes up about 42% of the total solar spectrum. Throughout the day, the amount of visible light reaching the Earth's surface changes due to variations in the sun's position and atmospheric conditions, with the highest percentage being around midday when the sun is at its zenith.

Is it true that there is a red moon?

There is truy no red moon. During a solar eclipse, it merely appears that the Earth's moon is red. The way the light crosses the atmosphere refracts this way. You get the same effect during sunsets and sunrises.
