The crossword clue "Pollution that can change the colors of a sunset" with the answer "SMOG" refers to a type of air pollution that consists of a mixture of smoke, fog, and other pollutants. Smog can scatter and refract sunlight in such a way that it alters the colors seen during sunrise or sunset, often deepening reds, oranges, and purples.
This happens because the particles in smog scatter shorter wavelengths of light, like blue and violet, leaving the longer wavelengths, such as red and orange, to dominate the sky. While it may create visually striking sunsets, smog is harmful to both the environment and human health.
