soluna

Soluna is a term that refers to the combined period of sunrise and sunset. It describes the transitional times of day when the sun is near the horizon, resulting in unique lighting conditions and atmospheric phenomena. This period is characterized by soft, diffused light, often with a warm palette of colors such as oranges, pinks, and purples.

The duration of soluna varies depending on the time of year and geographical location. During the equinoxes, sunrise and sunset occur at approximately equal intervals from midday, while in the summer and winter solstices, these times are more extreme. The atmospheric scattering of sunlight, known as Rayleigh scattering, plays a significant role in the visual appearance of soluna.

Soluna holds cultural and artistic significance, often inspiring painters, photographers, and writers. It is frequently associated with moments of reflection, peace, and beauty. Many people find the soft light and tranquil atmosphere of soluna to be particularly appealing, making it a favored time for outdoor activities or quiet contemplation. The precise meteorological conditions, such as cloud cover and humidity, can also influence the intensity and color of the light during soluna.
