Welcome to our sky watcher club. Today we meet Mia and Leo. They love watching evening skies. Last Tuesday, Mia sat on porch steps. Sky glowed orange and red. She said, "I am being sunset to the colors!" Leo pointed at fading light. Purple shadows crept across grass. He said, "I am being dusk to the shadows!" Mia felt warm and amazed. Leo felt calm and quiet. Both watched sky change. See the difference? One is bright ending. The other is soft fading. Let us explore why.
