Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DAH-DEM
DAWN (the 16th-century form of the earlier " Jawing " or " dawning," from an old verb " daw," O. Eng. dagian, to become day; cf. Dutch dagen, and Ger. tagen) , the
time
  when
light
  appears (daws) in the sky in the
morning
 . The
dawn
 
colours
  appear in the
reverse
 
order
  of the sunset
colours
  and are due to the same cause. When the sun is lowest in both cases the colour is deep red; this gradually changes through
orange
  to gold and brilliant yellow as the sun approaches the
horizon
 . These colours follow each other in
order
  of refrangibility, reproducing all the colours of the spectrum in order except the blue rays which are scattered in the sky. The colours of the
dawn
  are purer and colder than the sunset colours since there is less dust and moisture in the atmosphere and less consequent sifting of
light
  rays.
