Green Flash again...

Green flashes and green rays are optical phenomena that sometimes occur right after sunset or right before sunrise. When the conditions are right, a green spot is visible above the upper rim of the disk of the sun.

The green appearance usually lasts for no more than a second or two. Rarely, the green flash can resemble a green ray shooting up from the sunset (or sunrise) point.

Green flashes occur because the atmosphere can cause the light from the sun to separate out into different colors.

 

I already knew this... but it is easier to copy and paste from Wikipedia!
