Summary
| Description |
English: This photograph captures a spectacular sunset over the city of Meknes, Morocco. The sky is filled with sweeping clouds illuminated by intense red and orange hues, a phenomenon caused by Rayleigh scattering as sunlight passes through a thicker layer of the atmosphere near the horizon. The city's skyline, including a prominent minaret, is rendered as a dark silhouette against the bright sky.
Français : Cette photographie capture un coucher de soleil spectaculaire sur la ville de Meknès, au Maroc. Le ciel est rempli de nuages amples illuminés par des teintes rouges et oranges intenses, un phénomène causé par la diffusion Rayleigh lorsque la lumière du soleil traverse une couche plus épaisse de l'atmosphère près de l'horizon. La ligne d'horizon de la ville, y compris un minaret proéminent, apparaît comme une silhouette sombre contre le ciel lumineux.
العربية: تَلْتَقِطُ هَذِهِ الصُّورَةُ غُرُوبًا مُذْهِلًا لِلشَّمْسِ فَوْقَ مَدِينَةِ مَكْنَاسْ بِالْمَغْرِبْ. السَّمَاءُ مَلِيئَةٌ بِالسُّحُبِ الْمُضَاءَةِ بِأَلْوَانٍ حَمْرَاءَ وَبُرْتُقَالِيَّةٍ، وَهِيَ ظَاهِرَةٌ نَاتِجَةٌ عَنْ تَبَعْثُرِ رَايْلِي حَيْثُ يَمُرُّ ضَوْءُ الشَّمْسِ عَبْرَ طَبَقَةٍ أَسْمَكَ مِنَ الْغِلَافِ الْجَوِّيِّ بِالْقُرْبِ مِنَ الْأُفُقْ. يَظْهَرُ أُفُقُ الْمَدِينَةِ، بِمَا فِي ذَلِكَ مِئْذَنَةٌ بَارِزَةٌ، كَظِلٍّ دَاكِنٍ عَلَى خَلْفِيَّةِ السَّمَاءِ السَّاطِعَةْ. English: A horizontal photograph of a sunset. The sky is filled with sweeping, wave-like clouds illuminated in bright reds, oranges, and yellows.
