Why skies turn blue, sunsets red

Portrait-oriented cinematic movie poster, 1024x1536. Large bold title at the top reading "Why the sky turns blue and sunsets glow red" in a thick, high-contrast display font, occupying the top 20-25% of the image. Below it, a dramatic split scene of a bright blue daytime sky transforming into a fiery red-orange sunset over the horizon, with visible sun rays scattering through the atmosphere, luminous clouds, and subtle particles in the air. Rich cinematic lighting, deep blues and warm reds, clean composition, no other text.
