Re: Do u Know ? why ?

Its all about MIND TRICKS
However, the sun looks bigger because of an optical illusion. When the Sun is near the horizon, it sometimes seems to be much bigger and closer than during the rest of the day. At Sunrise or Sunset, your brain has other objects to compare the Sun’s size to, such as trees and buildings.

Re: Do u Know ? why ?

Well.. i guess it has to do with light refraction and reflection... When the sun is in the atmosphere, the radiations coming out of the sun get trapped with the water molecules in the air, which cause them to go into other directions, thus we don't see them properly. When the sun is at the horizon, this thing becomes less, and that's why we can see more of the sun really, but we think it grew bigger

Dats the right answer , Basically the Sun has (UVR) Ultra Violet Radiations , which consists of 7 colors , the same as the rainbow colors , each color has different strenght of speed through the atmosphere . Red Color has the highest one and the blue is the lowest one . After the Sun moves on Hirozontal area , the Blue Radiations trapped with the molecules of the different Medium in the air , while the Red Radiations can pass through that Medium coz its has the highest ones .e.i the Sun turns to Orange or Mostly Red first . Due to water Molecules , the Image reflects bigger for us when we see the Sun at that time . Same issue when u put drop of water on a letter on your book , it seems like a scope to maximize the image .

.........
Same question for the Sky , why we see the Sky is Blue in the day time or when its Sunny . Same Answer as for the Radiations passing throught the power of Light of the Sun . Blue Radiatin is workin like the opposite of Red ones , in this case the Blue ones are passing Faster than the Red radiations .
