Thought I would share this with you guys.
I got a glimpse of a beautiful sunset off of my aunt’s rooftop. My Smartphone
actually did a pretty good job. It almost looks like it is giving off
red/orange rays around it. I wonder why this is.
Today it was about 81 degrees.
The time was 8:32 PM
It was mostly cloudy all day today, with
the sun peeking through the clouds at some points in the day.
The Altitude was about 4.26(changed
data) Find Altitude <---
found altitude using this
1. How frequently do you see a distorted sunset (sunrise) from your site?
I've only been up on the roof of my aunt's house once, but this is a beautiful distorted sun set.
2. What is the most common type of distorted sunset (sunrise) from your
site?
A bright white/yellow sunset with a redish hue around it.
3. What relationship do you see between altitude, weather patterns and
temperature with the distorted sunsets (sunrises) that you observed?
The day was mostly cloudy but it cleared up later in the day, allowing me to see a clear view of the sun. The less humid and cloudy it is the clearer you can see the sun, and it is not as distorted.

beautiful today, the sun was casting an almost reddish/pinkish shade on
them.

the sun came out again after 6:30pm.
