Why is the sunset more colorful than the sunrise?

Question

Sunrise: yellow with maybe a faint tint of rose

Sunset: red, orange, gold, purple, rose

Answer 1

there is more air vapor, and gases from the changing of temperatures in the atmoshere in the sky.

Answer 2

During day time convection currents are more which bring more dust to the atmosphere.This makes a difference in the scattering of the sun's rays between morning and evening.This is the reason.

Answer 3

The color is reflecting the minerals in the air from dirt and other particles stirred up by the late afternoon winds.  It is more windy late in the day when the heated air meets the cooling air of sunset.  Of course the wind keeps the particles suspended in the air to reflect the sunset lights.  Beautiful aren't they?

Answer 4

Wind will increas the amount of dust and so increase the amount of defraction, BUT the usual answer would be that durring the day more moisture is in the air increasing the defraction. HOWEVER this depends on where you are. Those on the West coast of the US should see more color at Sunrise. Except when fires or heavy winds cause more particles to be in the eastern sky on an evening that you are observing. Visa Versa for the East coast. The Gold is usually classed as yellow. Light defracts in order Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo and Vilote.  Always in that order though all colors may not be visable.

Answer 5

Because the sun is low on the horizon, sunlight passes through more air at sunset and sunrise than during the day, when the sun is higher in the sky. More atmosphere means more molecules to scatter the violet and blue light away from your eyes. If the path is long enough, all of the blue and violet light scatters out of your line of sight. The other colors continue on their way to your eyes. This is why sunsets are often yellow, orange, and red.

Answer 6

Likely the sunrises and sunsets would be similar except for the typical clouds that form in the morning as opposed to the evening.  At night, clouds often disperse because of radiation cooling to outer space.  During the day, the sun's energy causes rising thermals underneath growing clouds.  Gliders can soar and even gain elevation by circling under a growing cloud but not at night when the thermals disappear.
