Uniknya Warna Langit Planet Mars Saat Matahari Terbenam, Bukan Merah Tapi BIru

Beautiful View of the Red Planet Sky during Sunset

Dream - When looking at Earth and Mars, we immediately imagine the colors that characterize both planets. Earth is famous for being called the Blue Planet. Meanwhile, Mars is referred to as the Red Planet.

"Not only the physical colors of these two planets are unique. But the appearance of the sunset on these two planets is also different."

We are accustomed to seeing the Sun set on Earth in bright red, tending towards orange. Meanwhile, the sunset on Mars emits a pale sapphire blue color that appears elegant.

"Mystery of Sunset on Planet Mars"

The appearance of the sunset on Mars with this unique color was recorded by the Curiosity rover while exploring the planet. The question is, why can the sunset color on Mars be different from Earth even though they both orbit the same Sun?

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The different colors of sunset are actually based on the same scientific principle. The sunset on Mars appears blue, just like the way our sky appears blue, while the sunset on Earth appears red. It all depends on the scattering of sunlight on the particles and molecules that make up the planet's atmosphere."

Although it appears white, sunlight is actually composed of various different wavelengths. In addition, molecules and dust particles only interact with specific wavelengths.

When the spectrum of sunlight is broken down, the molecules and particles it passes through will emit the colors that we see.

While the atmosphere of the Red Planet is very different from Earth, both in composition and density. The atmosphere of Mars is very thin. The pressure on Mars is equivalent to about 1 percent of Earth.

"To experience such low pressure, we must be at an altitude of more than 30 kilometers. In addition, the atmosphere of Mars also does not contain nitrogen and oxygen like that of Earth."

That's the Reason the Color of Mars' Sunset is Blue

The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags is as follows: "The atmosphere of Mars consists of carbon dioxide and a lot of dust that tends to scatter red light. That's why Mars appears reddish, which allows blue light to pass through it."

The reason why the color of the Earth's sunset tends to be red is because of the html tags.

In Earth, the opposite happens. Blue light is reflected by air molecules, giving our sky its characteristic color. When the Sun rises and sets, the longer wavelengths are more dominant. When the Sun is in a low position on the horizon, its light has to travel a longer distance through the atmosphere, thus scattering more.

As a result, the only thing left is the color that we see during sunrise or sunset. This red or orange color is further intensified by volcanic ash and wildfire dust.
