Introductory section

I have been working on this section, but it occurs to me that much of it is redundant with the contents of the article. Really all that is necessary is the first paragraph.Robert P. O'Shea (talk) 05:27, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Atmospheric optics or meteorological optics?

Meteorological optics redirects to this page: Atmospheric optics. But the two are not the same, as least as defined by the American Meteorological Society. Meteorological optics covers optical phenomena of the atmosphere that are visible to the naked eye; atmospheric optics includes optical phenomena of the atmosphere that are not visible to the naked eye. The current article is really about meteorological optics as defined, not about atmospheric optics. Would this justify separate articles on meteorological optics and on atmospheric optics?Robert P.

phenomenon that affects light rays and allows you to look directly at the sun without protection during sunset

Occasionally, I have walked through Seoul around sunset and the sun appears redder and I can look directly at it with my naked eye.

I think this has to deal with air pollution in conjunction with the longer distance that light travels along the horizon. I am uncertain if this is a named phenomenon or how it works, but I think it would fit in this wiki. Ciscorucinski (talk) 15:16, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
