At the early time in the morning, a part of the sky you notice is blue and a part of the sky is red in colour.

Is that the red colour one is the west one or the east one?

By the way, how do we determine the direction of the earth globe?

The horizon is red (east at sunrise) for the same reason that the overhead is blue - Rayliegh scattering of the light, which is frequency-dependent. Blue scatters more.

I know it, and I'm not question about it. Sorry

no. its because.light follows the least time principle. its (talking about blue light. it has a shorter wavelenght. therefore the wave has to travel more distance)not gonna bother entering your eye, because your too far away in sunrise and sunset

I mean the sky with two part of colour at the same time.

Is it strange?

no. its because.light follows the least time principle. its (talking about blue light. it has a shorter wavelenght. therefore the wave has to travel more distance)not gonna bother entering your eye, because your too far away in sunrise and sunset

that makes no sense. the rayleigh scattering people are right.

 

the sky can be red right both east and west.
