Air coming from the areas around Florida, such as the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, don’t have as many of these particles and, when air drifts in from the ocean, it provides less filtering particles. Our ocean does create more beautiful sunsets

The incoming sunlight travels through more of the atmosphere when it is closer to the horizon. The rays are visible because of dust particles in the air that reflect light from the rising or setting sun. The shorter wavelengths are filtered out by the dust, leaving only the longer yellow, orange, and red light
