The sky turns red at sunrise and sunset due to a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering. When the Sun is low on the horizon, its light has to travel through a much thicker layer of Earth’s atmosphere compared to when it is overhead.

This scattering removes most of the blue light from our line of sight, allowing the longe
