Question

Why the sky is blue?

Answer 1

Hi there!

The sky is blue because molecules that are in the air, distribute more blue light from the sun, rather than distributing more red light. Blue light is scattered in different directions by tiny molecules of air in the Earth's atmosphere.  An example of when red light comes into play is when the sun is starting to set, you may see red-ish orange type of color because the blue light was already scattered out.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer: The sky is blue due to a phenomenon called Raleigh scattering. This scattering refers to the scattering of electromagnetic radiation (of which light is a form) by particles of a much smaller wavelength. These shorter wavelengths correspond to blue hues, hence why when we look at the sky, we see it as blue.

Explanation: hope this is a good explanation.
