Why November Skies Light Up With Fiery Evening Glow
US · Published Nov 20, 2025
November skies display fiery evening glows due to increased atmospheric scattering as sunlight travels through more air.
Lower sun angles and colder, calmer air in November intensify red and orange sunset colors.
Particles in the air, like dust, enhance sunset colors, though clear air yields the most brilliant displays.
Atmospheric science explains November's fiery evening glow
November skies often surprise with their fiery evening glow, a phenomenon rooted more in atmospheric science than mere chance. As the sun dips lower on the horizon and daylight hours shorten, sunlight must travel through a greater expanse of the Earth's atmosphere. This longer path intensifies a process known as atmospheric scattering.
