Beautiful Sunset Animation

This project creates a visually stunning sunset scene using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Features

• Dynamic sunset with a gradient sky that transitions from orange to deep purple as the sun sets
• Animated sun that slowly sets below the horizon with changing colors and glow
• Silhouetted mountain range against the sunset backdrop
• Shimmering ocean with gentle ripples reflecting the sunset
• Twinkling stars that gradually appear as the sun sets
• Soft clouds with sunset coloration that gently move
• Occasional shooting stars appearing in the night sky
• Flocks of birds flying across the sunset
• Responsive design that works on various screen sizes

How It Works

The sunset scene is built entirely with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript:

• Layered divs create the sky, sun, mountains, and ocean elements
• CSS gradients provide rich color transitions that change as the sun sets
• JavaScript animations control the sun's movement, ocean ripples, and dynamic elements
• Dynamic star generation with random twinkling animations that become more visible as darkness falls
• Z-indexing to manage the layering of visual elements
• Procedural generation of birds and shooting stars for added realism

Implementation Details

The code uses:

• CSS for styling, positioning and visual effects
• CSS and JavaScript animations for natural movement
• Dynamic element generation through JavaScript
• Z-indexing to manage the layering of visual elements
• Gradients for realistic color transitions
• Transition effects to smoothly change colors as the sun sets

This example demonstrates how to create beautiful natural scenes using simple web technologies.
