Sunrise is the time at which the first part of the Sun appears above the horizon in the east. Sunrise should not be confused with dawn, which is the (variously defined) point at which the sky begins to lighten, some time before the sun itself appears, ending twilight. Because atmospheric refraction causes the sun to be seen while it is still below the horizon, both sunrise and sunset are, from one point of view, optical illusions. The sun also appears larger on the horizon, but this is another optical illusion, similar to the moon illusion.
The apparent westward revolution of Sun around the earth after rising out of the horizon is due to the Earth's eastward rotation, a counter-clockwise revolution when viewed from above the North Pole. This illusion is so convincing that most cultures had mythologies and religions built around the geocentric model. This same effect can be seen with near-polar satellites as well.
As sunrise and sunset are calculated from the leading and trailing edges of the Sun, and not the center; this slightly increases the duration of "day" relative to "night." The sunrise equation, however, is based on the center of the sun.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the latest sunrise does not occur on the winter solstice around December 21, but rather in early January. Likewise, the earliest sunrise is not on the summer solstice around June 21, but occurs earlier in June in the Northern Hemisphere. As one travels further from the equator, the times of sunrise and sunset change throughout the year. Even on the equator, sunrise and sunset shift several minutes back and forth through the year, along with solar noon. These effects are plotted using an analemma.
Due to Earth's axial tilt, in the Northern Hemisphere it appears in the northeast quadrant from the March equinox to the September equinox and in the southeast quadrant from the September equinox to the March equinox. This effect is reversed for viewers in the Southern Hemisphere, where it appears in the southeast quadrant from the March equinox to the September equinox and in the northeast quadrant from the September equinox to the March equinox.
The colors of the sky, throughout the day and at sunrise and sunset, are explained by the phenomena of both Rayleigh Scattering and Mie Scattering.
Rayleigh Scattering causes the hues of blue, violet, and green in the sky. Rayleigh Scattering is scattering of shorter wavelength light, (e.g. blue & violet), by air atoms and molecules, (not statistical variations in density of the Earth's atmosphere). The magnitude or strength of Rayleigh Scattering varies by the reciprocal of the wavelength raised to the fourth power, and hence, does not explain the beautiful variations of reds, purples, oranges, and peachy colors.
The latter colors are better described by Mie Scattering, low angle scattering of light off of dust, soot, smoke, and ash particles. Mie Scattering, (producing the colors of sunset and sunrise), is recognizable down-wind of and after dust storms, forest fires, and volcanic eruptions that inject large quantities of fine particulate matter into the atmosphere. A number of eruptions in recent times, such as those of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 and Krakatoa in 1883, have been sufficiently large to produce remarkable sunsets and sunrises all over the world.
Sometimes just before sunrise or after sunset the atmosphere refracts light, causing a blue or green flash.
This was shot at around 6.30am on the outskirts of Bangalore..There was a lot of mist that day,and it was most wondeful day.The tree (seen in the picture)is Holy:)
Thank you,

Hello Arjun,
Beautiful atmospheric shot, amazing colours and mood conveyed here. Obsuring the sun behind the (holy) tree has worked wonderfully and helped you capture all the detail really well.
Interesting note too!
Thanks for sharing,
Regards
Doug

Hello Arjun,
A fine morning atmosphere ahs been recorded!
The fog is an element that enhances the mood, and so do the reflections from the calm lake...
A well composed presentation, wise to hide the sun behind the trees!
Greetings,

brilliant mood here
cold morning and up we get for an early walk..the sun warms up the trees..then back to the cabin for a big breakfast and a good day ahead
colours here are extremely atmospheric
a small point...the sun in the water reflection i feel is secondary and could be removed..
cheers
geof
