Which is more blinding when you're driving, the rising sun or the setting sun? Why?

They are the same. Sorry. But that's the truth. One gets more harsh with time...the rising sun. The other gets weaker with time...the setting sun. But they are both blinding. It's the same sun.

I would say the sun setting might be brighter. When rising there is more moisture in the air and that might mute some of the direct rays.

I have issues when the sun is low in the sky if I am driving in the direction that puts that sunlight directly into my eyes. Driving eastbound is more blinding at sunrise, and going westbound is trickier at sunset.

From my house. The rising sun is brighter. As it rises over the sea & bay so more reflected light up. It sets over the mountain. Dark tropical green. & slides behind the mountain early. But other places would have different conditions.

Night vision requires about 3 minutes for renewal and if underway a dawn breaks the transition out of light into linger shadow cannot occur fast enough in posted speed limits.

I once had a commute driving due east in the morning and due west in the evening. The rising sun seems brighter but that's probably because you've not been up long, whereas you're seeing the setting sun when your eyes have been accustomed to daylight for many hours.

Rising. You are accustomed to a dark environment during a sunrise, and that makes it seem worse. when the sun sets, it's already bright out.

I think this is going to be different for each person based on each person's experiences and each person's eye sight. I don't think that everyone would be in agreement as to which one is more blinding. For me, I have usually had more issues with a rising sun instead of a setting sun. I am more likely to be driving at that time of day, so I encounter issues in the morning more often than in the evening. I did see an auto accident once in which the person involved said they couldn't see because the sun had blinded them and it was in the evening - so they had an issue with a setting sun.

They're the same. The sun is not fitted with a dimmer switch. Any apparent differenc is due to weather/atmosperic conditions.
