Topic: Why do sunsets appear rather than sunrises?
more pollution in the evenings so diffusing the light. the actual sun has set as soon as the disk has touched the horizon. Due to light being bent through more atmosphere at that level. similar to twinkling stars. stars high up tend not to twinkle. Stars lower down do due to diffraction and thermal affects.
