NASA Scientist Simulates Kaleidoscope of Sunsets on Other Worlds - YouTube - nice video. It starts out with our own, then moves to other Solar-System worlds, and then does an exoplanet.
  • Earth: clear sky, hazy, overcast
  • Mars
  • Venus
  • Uranus
  • Titan (Saturn's largest moon)
  • TRAPPIST-1e (exoplanet)

The simulators neglected Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune, though Neptune is likely similar to Uranus.

 Extraterrestrial sky - most Solar-System bodies have skies that look like outer space, but those with thick enough atmospheres are exceptions. Other than the Earth, we have the most pictures of Mars's sky, and it was rather surprising. Instead of blue, it was light orange, and that was from dust in the planet's atmosphere. We have only a few pictures of Venus's sky and Titan's sky.
