Its True The Sun Really Does Flash Green

The video explores the green flash, an optical phenomenon popularized by Jules Verne. It occurs at sunrise and sunset due to atmospheric refraction, which separates light into colors. The green flash is visible when conditions are right, often requiring a mirage to enhance the effect. Scattering of shorter wavelengths like blue and violet explains why the flash appears green. Physiological effects and environmental conditions, such as a clear horizon, also influence visibility. The phenomenon is best observed from unobstructed views, like those from boats.
