SUNRISE SUNSET
Many people cannot tell whether a photograph was taken at sunrise or sunset without context. There are, however, a few clues you might be able to use if you really need to know. First, sunsets tend to have more orange and red colors than dawn because there are more ‘particles’ in the air at sunset than after a night of rest and relative calm. Second, if there is any rising mist or dew in the photo it’s a good bet it is a sunrise.
Astronomer Neil Degrasse Tyson was asked how to differentiate between a sunrise and sunset photo. He answered, "When viewed from all latitudes north of the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees north latitude), the sun always rises at an angle up and to the right, and sets at an angle down and to the right.” Or you could just enjoy these photos without worrying about it. Hint: The majority of these were taken at sunrise.
