Answer 3

"You ask about a night orange sky. Since the sky has color (orange), we know that light must shine from somewhere to reflect the orange color to our eyes. Where does the light come from? Not the Sun (since it’s night and cloudy). Nor can it come from the cloud-obscured Moon or stars. So, it must come from the city lights. Kolkata (Calcutta), with a population of 4.4 million people — India’s second largest city — has many lights.

Light pollution is the answer. Kolkata has sodium-vapor lights. Such lights reflect off low clouds and color the sky reddish orange, says astrophotographer Jerry Lodriguss.

This pollution comes from city lights that (unnecessarily) direct light upward and brighten the sky. Even on clear nights, the bright sky above big cities overpowers all but the brightest stars."

Answer 7

Depending on where you live on earth,  you might see the sky turn orange....normally while is going down, at sun down.  It's basically a reflection of the outer rim of the the sun's spectrum hitting the earth at a particular angle over the surface of the earth where you happen to be looking at the sky,  as the earth rotates away from it.
