PHOENIX - Residents in Phoenix, Payson, Kingman and other towns across Arizona sent FOX 10 photos and videos of a bright red sun the morning of Aug. 2 - but why is it happening?
The Apple Fire in California may be the cause.
The National Weather Service says parts of western Arizona are seeing smoke from the 20,000-acre Apple Fire burning in southern California.
Smoke or dust in the sky can cause the sun to take on an orange or red hue.
