Alpenglow, the Glossary
Alpenglow (from lit; enrosadira) is an optical phenomenon that appears as a horizontal reddish glow near the horizon opposite to the Sun when the solar disk is just below the horizon.[1]

Aerosol
An aerosol is a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets in air or another gas.
Afterglow
An afterglow in meteorology consists of several atmospheric optical phenomena, with a general definition as a broad arch of whitish or pinkish sunlight in the twilight sky, consisting of the bright segment and the purple light. Alpenglow and afterglow are atmospheric optical phenomena.
Backscatter
In physics, backscatter (or backscattering) is the reflection of waves, particles, or signals back to the direction from which they came.
Belt of Venus
The Belt of Venusalso called Venus's Girdle, the antitwilight arch, or antitwilightis an atmospheric phenomenon visible shortly before sunrise or after sunset, during civil twilight. Alpenglow and Belt of Venus are atmospheric optical phenomena.
See Alpenglow and Belt of Venus
Diffraction
Diffraction is the interference or bending of waves around the corners of an obstacle or through an aperture into the region of geometrical shadow of the obstacle/aperture.
Diffuse reflection
Diffuse reflection is the reflection of light or other waves or particles from a surface such that a ray incident on the surface is scattered at many angles rather than at just one angle as in the case of specular reflection.
See Alpenglow and Diffuse reflection
Earth's shadow
Earth's shadow (or Earth shadow) is the shadow that Earth itself casts through its atmosphere and into outer space, toward the antisolar point. Alpenglow and Earth's shadow are atmospheric optical phenomena.
See Alpenglow and Earth's shadow
Golden hour (photography)
In photography, the golden hour is the period of daytime shortly after sunrise or before sunset, during which daylight is redder and softer than when the sun is higher in the sky. Alpenglow and golden hour (photography) are atmospheric optical phenomena.
See Alpenglow and Golden hour (photography)
Horizon
The horizon is the apparent curve that separates the surface of a celestial body from its sky when viewed from the perspective of an observer on or near the surface of the relevant body.
Ice crystal
Ice crystals are solid ice in symmetrical shapes including hexagonal columns, hexagonal plates, and dendritic crystals. Alpenglow and ice crystal are atmospheric optical phenomena.
Lexico
Lexico was a dictionary website that provided a collection of English and Spanish dictionaries produced by Oxford University Press (OUP), the publishing house of the University of Oxford.
Optical phenomenon
Optical phenomena are any observable events that result from the interaction of light and matter.
See Alpenglow and Optical phenomenon
Oxford University Press
Oxford University Press (OUP) is the publishing house of the University of Oxford.
See Alpenglow and Oxford University Press
Particulates
Particulates or atmospheric particulate matter (see below for other names) are microscopic particles of solid or liquid matter suspended in the air.
See Alpenglow and Particulates
Precipitation
In meteorology, precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls from clouds due to gravitational pull.
See Alpenglow and Precipitation
Reflection (physics)
Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated.
See Alpenglow and Reflection (physics)
Sky
The sky is an unobstructed view upward from the surface of the Earth.
Sun
The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System.
Sunlight
Sunlight is a portion of the electromagnetic radiation given off by the Sun, in particular infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light.
Sunrise
Sunrise (or sunup) is the moment when the upper rim of the Sun appears on the horizon in the morning.
Sunset
Sunset (or sundown) is the disappearance of the Sun below the horizon of the Earth (or any other astronomical object in the Solar System) due to its rotation.
