Have you ever noticed how the sky looks antisolar during sunset?

Yeah, it’s fascinating how the colors change when the sun goes down.

I love that contrast, especially when you’re facing away from the sun.

Totally! It's like nature's way of showing off.

Root Explanation

Antisolar is formed from "anti-" (meaning against) and "solar" (from Latin "solaris", meaning of the sun). The word describes something that is opposite to or away from the sun.

Memory Tip

Think of 'anti-' meaning against and 'solar' relating to the sun — so antisolar refers to something that is against or opposite to the sun.
