Recently, I was in orbit around Venus, and watched many sunrises and sunsets. But I wondered about the color of the sun, respectively of the dawn and the color of the light thrown at my ship.
It was redish like on earth, but earth's atmosphere is blue, and so on absorbs the shorter wavelenghts make a sunset look red.
Would this way Venus brown-yellowish atmosphere absorb longer wavelenghts of light, and let a ship in orbit, passing the solar terminator appear in a blueish light? Or what else would it look like?
thx
