Is there a way to tell if the sun is rising or setting by looking at a picture and not knowing which coast it was taken at?

Looking through some pictures after watching "The Zero Theorem" it crossed my mind.

This question is obviously completely off-topic here. It *might*, however, be on topic at [Photography SE](http://photo.stackexchange.com/). – Flimzy Jul 30 '14 at 18:30
Springing to mind as a possibility: sunset images may have more heat distortion since they are shot over warmer surfaces. – Larry OBrien Jul 30 '14 at 21:42

In my opinion that is probably not a good fit. Some Astronomy or physics based SE would have the required knowledge to tackle a general, "do sunsets look different than sunrises" question. – Jonathon Aug 01 '14 at 22:02
