    It would be good if someone (you?) showed real life scenes of the various phases. Have not found this on UA-cam yet. Like, show shots of neighborhoods, baseball fields, major city streets with tall buildings, golf course, etc. People want to know if they can safely play baseball during nautical twilight.

      I don’t even notice the difference anyways after at least half of Nautical Twilight except on the western horizon (I’m talking about in the afternoon after sunset btw) because there’s too much light pollution where I live and the sky is slightly/kind of dark blue, and it’s still kind of light even inside, plus I can see pretty much just fine outside even if I’m not standing near a street light.
      Also, rn the moon is at 99.7% waxing gibbous & also above 70° altitude, so it makes it even brighter to barely even light blue, and it casts a short shadow on things similar to the sun when it’s high in the sky. Also, I read somewhere that the full moon (at the zenith) is the equivalent of the sun being 8.5° below the horizon.

    When you said dawn in the video, it was actually sunrise.
    Dawn is when each stage of twilight starts, and it’s not just dawn, but rather the stage of twilight and then the word dawn.
    So, Astronomical Dawn is when Astronomical Twilight starts in the morning/late night, Nautical Dawn is when Nautical twilight starts, Civil Dawn is when Civil Twilight starts, and then sunrise is when the sun gets to the horizon
    As for after the sun sets in the afternoon/evening, Civil Dusk is when Civil Twilight ends, Nautical Dusk is when Nautical Twilight ends, and Astronomical Dusk is when Astronomical Twilight ends.

      It also depends on your longitude, time zone, and whether or not you have daylight shifting time, how much the daylight shifting time is, and the sun must also set earlier than the place that you’re thinking of at 38°N.

      Hey! The blue hour is indeed a part of the nautical twilight at dawn/dusk. It occurs when the blue wavelengths of the visible spectrum (sunlight) dominate due to the ozone layer. This is a result of the Chappuis absorbtion.

    • @user-pd6bd7ir4z
      @user-pd6bd7ir4z 3 роки тому +2

      How&Why i think most regular cameras cannot really capture the astro/nautical transition well as it is still too dark.From my naked eye (best attempt) observations I would say that a very dim glow of dark orange/blue is discernible from around when the sun is still 15-14 degrees below horizon (astrononmical twilight). And only under perfect clear sky conditions at that. More than 14-15 i suppose is nearly invisible except for star gazing being still made difficult. Once the sun rises to around 12 degrees though (start of its nautical phase) then as long as the atmospheric conditions are good enough, the glow becomes easily visible. Its pretty interesting this stuff
