If you added sodium thiosulfate to your copper sulfate solution this would turn a light green and a yellow precipitate will slowly form that bears a strong resemblance to sulfur this is copper thiosulfate. hope that helpful.

When different wavelengths of light hit our eyes, we see different colors.

Light from the sun or light bulbs has many different wavelengths. This great mixture of wavelengths is commonly perceived as white. If the light hits an object - a road, tree, house, anything really - the object absorbs some wavelengths. Other wavelengths are reflected, and those are the ones we see.

How does sulfuric acid turn into acid rain?

Sulfur dioxide from industry and car exhaust combines with the water in clouds to form sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid bubbled into water produces sulfuric acid, and this method is even used in the production of sulfuric acid, known as the contact process. This process basically occurs nearly the same way in the clouds, and the resulting acid falls as acid rain.
