At sunset, the sun's light passes farther through the atmosphere, deflecting and decreasing the blue in the air. Scattering by dust particles and pollution in the air causes the sunset to appear red!!!

    You can choose between this and the previous post, or make up your own. Don't be afraid to make my answers interactive and put your own spin on things!!!

    The SunLife plan is one of these senior citizens insurance plans and Eastbourne is where you go when you retire in the UK, a bit like Florida in the US!!!
