Which of the following statements is wrong?
a.Near sunrise or sunset, the sunlight strike the atmosphere at
a low angle, it needs to pass through much more atmosphere, and
most of the shorter waves of visible light are scattered away.
Thus, the sun appears to be yellow, orange, or red.
b.Occasionally, the atmosphere becomes so loaded with dust, even
red waves are unable to pass through. In this case, the sun has a
dark and grey color.
c.Over the oceans, the scattering characteristics of small
suspended salt particles and water molecules are responsible for
the brilliant red suns that can be observed from a beach.
