looks quite good but it is a bit simplified.  If there is *no* dust in the
atmosphere, the color of the sky depends on the angle to the sun.  In fact there
is alway some dust and therefore the sky's color (temperature) is a function of
the angle to the sun and horizon.  Furthermore the sun's own color is also
influenced by dust.
