Now Viewing: dawnTag type: General Dawn is the first appearance of sunlight in the sky before sunrise, which is the moment when the top of the Sun is first visible over the horizon. The evening counterpart of dawn is dusk, which occurs after sunset. In case you are not sure whether an image represents dawn or dusk, you can tag it twilight. From Wikipedia < en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn >: "Dawn (from an Old English verb dagian "to become day") is the time that marks the beginning of the twilight before sunrise. It is recognized by the presence of weak sunlight, while the Sun itself is still below the horizon. Dawn should not be confused with sunrise, which is the moment when the leading edge of the Sun itself appears above the horizon."
