WHY DOES MARS HAVE BLUE SUNSET ?

MARS AS SEEN FROM SPACE 

MARS CALLED THE RED PLANET BECAUSE ITS IRON-RICH DUST GIVES IT LANDSCAPE A RUSTY-RED COLOR.  

THE MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE ISS MUCH THINNER THAN EARTH'S. OUR ATMOSPHERE IS WHAT MAKES THE SUN LOOK RED. YOU CAN LOOK UP RAYLEIGH SCATTERING OF HOW THE RED END OF THE SPECTRUM MAKES IT THROUGH.

THE ONE SEEMS TO HAVE CROPPED BACK UP AGAIN AS PEOPLE WONDERED WHY A SUNSET ON THE RED PLANET LOOKS BLUE.

THE BLUISH THING COMES FROM THE FACT THE FINE DUST ON MARS IS THE RIGHT SIZE SO FOR BLUE LIGHT TO PENETRATES THE ATMOSPHERE MORE EFFEICIENTLY. 

WHEN THE BLUE LIGHT SCATTERS, IT STAYS CLOSER TO THE DIRECTION OF THE SUN THAN THE LIGHT OF OTHER COLOURS. THE REST OF THE SKY IS YELLOW TP ORANGE AS YELLOW TO RED LIGHT SCATTERS ALL OVER THE SKY INSTEAD OF BEING ABSOBED OR STAYING CLOSE TO THE SUN.

"SUNSET AND TWILIGHT IMAGES ARE OCCASIONALLY ACQUIRED BY THE SCIENCE TEAM TO DETERMINE HOW HIGH INTO THE ATMOSPHERE THE MARTIAN DUST EXTENDS, AND TO LOOK FOT DUST OR ICE-CLOUDS", EXPLAINED BY NASA.

'SIMILIAR LONG TWILIGHTS OR EXTRA-COLORFUL SUNRISES AND SUN SETS SOMETIMES OCCUR ON EARTH WHEN TINY DUST GRAINS THAT ARE ERUPTED FROM POWERFUL VOLCANOS SCATTER LIGHT HIGH IN THE ATMOSPHERE'.
