The cooler air temperature in the morning can also make a significant difference. Very cold temperatures make the sun more red "higher" in the sky. The red colour goes away at lower "heights" in warmer weather. This is just an observation I made growing up on the extraordinarily cold Canadian prairies. The shape of the clouds can vary in the morning and evening and you are more likely to see high altitude contrails in the evening than in the morning. In very cold weather, you can also see multiple images of the sun (when the sun is "higher" in the sky).
In the southern hemisphere, the sun rises in the east, and moves up and left to the north. So you could play a northern hemisphere sunset backwards and call it a southern hemisphere sunrise.
I love to post images of sunrises and sunsets, and sometimes they are not labeled as such... And, so in my effort to find out how I could discern the difference on my own, I came across your video! Thank you for taking the time to explore the topic at hand and for shedding some light on a fascinating query! I am pleased to know that I was able to identify five of the six images correctly before even learning the tips you highlighted!
He's talking about the usage in a film, where, when everything plays in the northern hemisphere, this would be noticable. In the southern hemisphere, it would go the other way around, but this is also in the footage. In conclusion, wherever you are, you have to mirror the reversed sunset
But only at the equinox. On the summer solstice, the sun will be coming straight up at the tropics, and at an angle at the equator. I live south of the tropic of Capricorn, so the sun always moves left here no matter the day of the year, but between the tropics the question is more complex.
The first point about how your eyes see the sunset/ sunrise is interesting but 1) some people have night jobs & sleep during the day so this would likely not hold for them, and 2) if you're just looking at a photograph it doesn't help you figure it out. Thanks for another fun video!
The sun moves to the left (counter-clockwise) in the Southern hemisphere and to the right (clockwise) in the Northern hemisphere. So at 2:42, it could be a sunrise in Australia (example).
Mr. Random No it doesn't. as an example imagine if the sun rose(for you) left to right in the USA if you went on the exact opposite side of the world it would still rise left to right(Assuming both times you face the same direction)
thembones5 , Mr. Random is right on this one. Try it in that USA if yours. Look north during sunrise, especially during the summer months. If it still rises from left to right. You probably have two left hands.
thembones5 No it wouldn't! If You're in Australia for example, You're looking north to see the sun, while when You're in Paris, You're looking south. Hence the apparent sun movement in Australia is counterclockwise. :-)
That last point you mentioned is only true in the northern hemisphere, though. The sun goes from east to west closer to the south only during any time in the northern hemisphere, especially during winter. In the southern hemisphere, the sun moves from east to west across the northern half of the sky (again, especially during winter in July), just like your "fake" reversed footage.
This is a very interesting point! You know, I had to go on Stellarium to double check what you were saying - although I realise now that I could've worked it out without resorting to a simulation. I hold my hands up to being a Northern-Hemisphere-Centrist.
HaHa! I thought the same until in our astronomy class last year, we mapped out where the sunsets are using pictures, and recorded the arc of the sun over the sky every few days for a number of weeks. Although your point still remains firm because most footages like this probably were just reversed because they were most likely taken in the northern hemisphere.
AlanKey86 I live in the southern Hemisphere, and for me the sun always was on the north side. Until I went to Europe.. one day I tried to orient myself using the position of the sun and noticed something strange, the sun wasn't where it supposed to be. After a few minutes of thinking I got the answer which is what EyesofPhysics SRG explained.
I have a question: How would it be seen if your are in the exact point where the equator is? According also to the answer for the previous question, will it be a difference between some steps ahead the equator? (Just curious)
Javier Reyna Depends on the time of year. At the equator, there is always 12 hrs of day and 12 hrs of night (approximately... there is a bit of twilight at dusk and dawn.) If it were summer, then the sun would rise in the east and be 23 degrees away from being directly over head at noon, but in the north and of course set in the west. In the winter it would be reversed from that. It would rise in the east, and then at noon it would be 23 degrees in the south from being directly overhead and again set in the west. ;) During the fall however, it would rise in the east and slightly to the north and set in the west slightly in the south and be directly overhead around noon. Spring is similar to fall, but in reverse, it would rise in the east and slightly to the south and set in the west slightly in the north and again, be directly overhead around noon. ;) If you really want to see how it works yourself, get a ball and mark lines of latitude on them and tilt the ball at 23 degrees. Then shine a light on it and you will see exactly what I just explained. ;)
would not the "travelling in the wrong direction thing depend on where on earth you are I personally remember seeing sun sets and sun rises that go straight up. and straight down.
Yes. The "sun must move to the right during sunset" thing is only true for the northern Hemisphere. Someone in Equador will see the sun going down perpendicular to the horizon, for example.
If you would measure the wavelengths of the incoming light, the doppler-effect will cause a slight red-shift at sunset and a slight blue-shift at sunrise. So this could be another way to measure the difference.
That is completely wrong. A red-shift or blue shift only occurs when an object that emits light (like a star) is either moving away from us, or moving towards us. The sun is neither moving away or towards us, we are in orbit around it, so there is no Doppler effect from the sun.
Agent009B The Doppler effect occurs whether the emitter is moving towards/away from us or when we move towards/away from it. Consider the rotation of the Earth. An observer at a location that is moving towards the sunlit side of Earth (experiences sunrise) is moving towards the Sun. The result is a blueshift. An observer at a location moving towards the night side (sunset) moves away from the Sun and a b̶l̶u̶e̶s̶h̶i̶f̶t̶ redshift occurs. Note that the Doppler effect caused by Earth's rotation is greater at the equator than at the poles. Although we orbit the Sun, our distance to it is not fixed because Earth's orbit is an ellipse. Thus, we can consider the following: Earth moving towards perihelion (which contributes a blueshift) or moving towards aphelion (which results in a redshift).
Well even if that is true, we are only moving at most at 1100 mph at the equator... the further away from the equator you get, the slower you are moving. That's hardly significant to cause a red or blue shift when light moves at 186,000 miles per second. I'd be very surprised if it is at all noticeable. Perhaps detectable with equipment, but not with your eyes.
Agent009B Uh, when you are on the equator, you are not even moving away from the sun, you are spinning around, the major movement "away " from the sun is at sunset/night when you are at 60-90 °angle from the sun, so if there is a minor measurable sign of Doppler effect that can be calculated with equipment we cannot see it because the sun is hidden.
Rheainstoun Thing is noticed over the years is that the morning skies are much more blue, clearer. The sunset is almost always surrounded with clouds/moisture. But that is perhaps something that you observed as well... cheers.
Yes. The "sun must move to the right during sunset" thing is only true for the northern Hemisphere. Someone in Equador will see the sun going down perpendicular to the horizon, for example.
i hate sunset, i love sunrise sunset = the end of the day, it's getting dark and you have to go to bed, because of the way we live, i can't appraciate sunset, but sunrise, it's so beautiful, to hear the bird sing and all, everything is perfect, sunset, the sun blind you when you're outside, you're doing something and the sun is just like in your fucking eye, but not sunrise
Dang, I'm seeing all these comments where they like sunrise better I like sunsets because all the color it has, pink, orange, purple, yellow, blue, but when I see a sunrise, I just see yellow. Is that wrong? Also, when I see a sunset, I feel good because it's the end of the day(an I am not a morning person) and I've done all my work, and I can just chill
I don't understand how people tell the difference between sunrise and sunsets, I almost always get it wrong. I was only sure of the last one, that it was a sunrise. I don't know how I know, it's just a feeling. Anyone care to explain how one can tell besides the points mentioned in the video?
April Xu As he said it's noticeably brighter during a sunrise, whereas a sunset is more foggy(For a lack of a better word) due to pollution. Being aware of this I simply looked at the picture and made a guess based on the light refraction(How much the light spreads) due to the mist/fog/pollination
thembones5It may be that in most cases sunsets are more foggy, but the weather is not the same everyday. I think that one could pick sunrise from one day, and sunset from another day with similar weather conditions.
To me, the sunset represents the end. When we had a good this is a sign of the end. Sunrise represents the birth of a beautiful day. This is what I made in my mind, and why I prefer the sunrise.
I think sunrise is whiter, the sun is brighter and the clouds will have brighter colors. In sunset it looks more orange and the sky will turn into other colors, like pink, It also lasts longer dispersed in the clouds.
@@sr3yu Dusk isn't a well defined term or time. It generally means an hour or two after sunset until the sky becomes completely dark. My Ohio times are from the exact moment the Sun disappears until the next morning when the first sliver of Sun peeks above the horizon. The difference between summer and winter is 6 hours 2 minutes.
The sun does set the other way if you switch hemisphere. The sun still travels (seems to anyway) from east to west but is seen in the north. So it moves to the left. Also the earth is colder and has to heat up so any picture with a low haze like number one has a cold surface so is most likely a sunrise. Then there is the green rim..... but not in any pictures you have shown because it is near impossible to see with the naked eye. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_flash
The sun rises to the left here in Australia. So this video has mistakes. And there is a huge difference in the amount of light at rise an set. If it was due to pollution we would know about it. People live a hundred years , surely one would have said , hey ,sunsets have gotten darker. There is more to it than this.
yeah the counter doesn't count it accurately when a video is first released. In fact, the counter often stops at 340 views iirc. Then the video is put through some sort of process to determine how many views it actually has. I'm sure there's a video on TH-cam here explaining it. lol
When you play the footage backwards you have to be sure no birds are in the shot.
shit
sorry
2:54 only when you're in the northern hemisphere, not a universal truth.
Since cameras do not have dark adaptation like the eye it might be difficult to discern the difference between sunrise and sunset photographs.
The cooler air temperature in the morning can also make a significant difference. Very cold temperatures make the sun more red "higher" in the sky. The red colour goes away at lower "heights" in warmer weather. This is just an observation I made growing up on the extraordinarily cold Canadian prairies.

Sunrises are much more brighter and yellow, while sunsets are much more darker and orange.
The reversed-in-time images are also given away by the contrails that are contracting when played backwards.

It does indeed, but inverted. Which explains a lot about Aussies.
except int the southern hemisphere the sun rises at a different angel the farther south you travel

That stupid statement that sun always moves from left to rigth is correct only to northen hemisphere )
The Earth is flat and motionless. The sun travels around.
In the southern hemisphere, the sun moves counterclockwise. You don't even have to go there to know that. This is one stupid video.
Hi Adele. You've made a very good point which I didn't think of when I made the video.
