QUÉ SIGNIFICA TWILIGHT EN INGLÉS

Crepúsculo

Twilight

Crepúsculo es la iluminación que se produce por la dispersión de la luz solar en la atmósfera superior, iluminando la atmósfera inferior cuando el Sol no es directamente visible porque está debajo del horizonte, de modo que la superficie de la Tierra no está completamente iluminada ni completamente oscura. La palabra "crepúsculo" también se utiliza para indicar los períodos de tiempo cuando se produce esta iluminación. Cuanto más lejos está el Sol por debajo del horizonte, más oscuro es el crepúsculo. Cuando el Sol alcanza 18 grados bajo el horizonte, el brillo del crepúsculo es casi cero. El atardecer termina y la noche empieza. Cuando el Sol vuelve a alcanzar los 18 grados bajo el horizonte, la noche termina y el crepúsculo de la mañana comienza. Debido a su calidad distintiva, principalmente la ausencia de sombras y la apariencia de objetos siluetas contra el cielo brillante, el crepúsculo ha sido popular entre los fotógrafos, que se refieren a ella como "luz dulce", y los pintores, que se refieren a ella como el azul Hora, después de la expresión francesa l'heure bleue. Por analogía con el crepúsculo de la tarde, la palabra "crepúsculo" también se usa a veces metafóricamente, para dar a entender que algo está perdiendo fuerza y ​​acercándose a su final.

Twilight is the illumination that is produced by sunlight scattering in the upper atmosphere, illuminating the lower atmosphere when the Sun itself is not directly visible because it is below the horizon, so that the surface of the Earth is neither completely lit nor completely dark. The word "twilight" is also used to denote the periods of time when this illumination occurs. The further the Sun is below the horizon, the dimmer the twilight. When the Sun reaches 18 degrees below the horizon, twilight's brightness is nearly zero. Evening twilight ends and night begins. When the Sun again reaches 18 degrees below the horizon, night ends and morning twilight begins. Owing to its distinctive quality, primarily the absence of shadows and the appearance of objects silhouetted against the bright sky, twilight has long been popular with photographers, who refer to it as 'sweet light', and painters, who refer to it as the blue hour, after the French expression l'heure bleue. By analogy with evening twilight, the word "twilight" is also sometimes used metaphorically, to imply that something is losing strength and approaching its end.
