Why Is The Sky Blue?

Do You Know Why Is The Sky Blue?

The sky’s blue color results from a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering, As sunlight enters Earth's atmosphere, it collides with gas molecules, scattering the light in all directions, Blue light waves, which are shorter and smaller than other colors, scatter more than others filling the sky with blue.

When the Sun is low on the horizon, such as during sunrise or sunset, the light passes through a thicker layer of atmosphere, scattering blue and green light and allowing reds and oranges to dominate, This scattering effect gives us brilliant blue skies by day and fiery colors at dawn and dusk, a beautiful result of Earth’s atmosphere interacting with sunlight.
