All Around the World

The sunset is different every time. All around the world the sunset occurs on different times and it can obviously look different every time. Here is a picture off of www.die.net which basically shows how the sunlight looks like when the sun is setting.

According to this photo and website, "This is a generated illustration of the earth's patterns of sunlight and darkness." I happen to think this photo looks really cool. I like how you can see where the sun is still up and where it's already dark. In China, it's already the next day when we're having a sunset here in the U.S. (This i happened to Google) The time zones of each part of the world are fascinating in the sense that we could be having dinner while someone else in the world are getting up to get ready for their day.

Why the sunset changes the sky's colors is something that catches my attention so much. On the website www.kidzworld.com it said that "A sunset will have more bright and vivid colors  when there is dust particles or pollution in the air. This is because the particles reflect light in all directions, resulting in more yellows and reds." But I wonder how that all happens. There must be a lot of dust particles in the air for the sky to be changing color each day. That's crazy!

  1. I think that observing the sunset is something very awesome. Sometimes when I walk outside and the sun is setting I can see that it's very colorful and it looks different everyday. Since this is your point of focus I'm sure your going to find more cool information. I'm looking forward to reading more of your blogs.

  2. I also find the sunset and timezone fascinating! Today in Mrs.Rameili class we learned the reason behind time zones, which was that during the railroads days the railroaders created a time schedule so people using the railways could be on time. Which was later adapted to the whole world.
