City of Sciences explains sun's new hue
The sun appeared in the sky of Tunis capital during sunset with a different color than usual, sparking curiosity among the residents after a very hot day. The head of the Space and Universe Department at the Science City explained that the color of the sun changes due to interactions within the gases it is composed of, as well as the effect of the atmosphere on the light reaching the Earth. She added that the light takes about 8 minutes to reach the Earth and that its colors range from blue to red, with red being more prominent at sunset because of the shorter distance, which results in less energetic peaks. The unusual increase in the sun's color change is due to variations in how colors disperse through the atmosphere during sunset.
