At which time does sunlight pass through a thicker portion of the atmosphere?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sunlight passes through a thicker portion of the atmosphere during sunrise and sunset. This is because the angle at which the sunlight hits the Earth's atmosphere is more oblique, so it has a longer path to travel through the atmosphere. This causes the sunlight to scatter more, creating the beautiful red and orange hues we see during sunrise and sunset.
