GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
The first light of dawn is the moment when natural light becomes faintly visible in the sky, even though the sun is still below the horizon. This is often called civil dawn, which occurs when the sun is about 6 degrees below the horizon.
At this point:
- Outdoor objects become distinguishable
- Artificial lighting may still be needed
- The sky often appears blue or pinkish
