Sunsets are beautiful! I live in Florida, so we get to see some pretty nice sunsets out here. Which do you prefer, sunset or sunrise?

Is that why the sun looks much bigger as it gets closer to the horizon? Any idea why the sun changes into crazy colors right before it sets?
yes that is why and yeah i think it is beacuse of the sun rays that reflect on the water and clouds that make it get those crazy colors.
