How to see a sunset part 1

Me and Megan done an experiment that shows what it looks like when the sun is setting. We done the experiment in three parts, this one being the first. Before we started our experiment, we asked ourselves the question, "What makes a sunset appear orange or red?" We came up with the hypothesis that the sun appears orange when it is setting because it is closer to the earth, and the earth is bouncing the sun's rays off giving it an orange color. Watch to see if we are right!

All three parts of "See a Sunset" refers to Tennesee State Standard GLe 0207.6.1- Realize that the sun's position in the sky appears to change. Sunsets could be discussed when talking about the sun and how it appears to change positions in the sky.
