When camping, you have trees all around blocking essentially the entire sky and, yes, it's very disorienting. In the country, you get a better view of the sky. The stars definitely help, but you can still see the trees against the sky itself | |

(Stepping out of a tent to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night far from the nearest artificial lights can be remarkably disorienting.) | |

| Mar 12, 2019 at 11:59 | comment | added | Jim | @GrantGryczan First off, it is noticeable. If you go far from a city on a clear night, you can see a green hue. Also, as for the green at sunset, see the answer below this one | |
| Mar 11, 2019 at 13:35 | comment | added | Grant Gryczan | But not noticeably green like red or blue is, and no green is visible in between the red sunset and the blue sky. Why? | |
