Sunset Over Golden Gate Canvas Prints
Foggy sunset over Golden Gate Bridge is world famous. The fog of San Francisco Bay is a specific type of fog. It is a sea fog identified as advection fog, which is characterized by the lateral transfer of temperature by wind blowing over cooler water. Coastal areas having Mediterranean climates, such as that of San Francisco, have especially frequent sea fog blowing off the ocean to just a few miles inland. This San Francisco fog was taken into account during construction of Golden Gate Bridge. At one point experts doubt the bridge could be built there at all. They said that ferocious winds and blinding fogs would prevent construction and operation. Fog also played a role in choosing the color of the bridge, and red color was chosen because red color enhances the bridges visibility in fog. The sky colors are due to Belt of Venus.

Sunset or sundown, is the daily disappearance of the Sun below the western horizon as a result of rotation. The time of sunset is defined in astronomy as the moment when the trailing edge of the Suns disk disappears below the horizon. The ray path of light from the setting Sun is highly distorted near the horizon because of atmospheric refraction, making the sunset appears to occur when the Sun’s disk is already about one diameter below the horizon. Sunset is distinct from dusk, which is the time at which the sky becomes completely dark, which occurs when the Sun is approximately eighteen degrees below the horizon. The period between sunset and dusk is called twilight. Locations north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle experience no sunset or sunrise at least one day of the year, when the polar day or the polar night persists continuously for 24 hours. Sunset creates unique atmospheric conditions such as the often intense orange and red colors of the Sun and the surrounding sky.
