The phenomenon is called Rayleigh scattering.
White light from the Sun is scattered going through the atmosphere. The Sun's rays coming pretty much straight down aren't scattered much, but rays going sideways through the atmosphere - the sunrise and sunset rays - are scattered. Red light is scattered least, so those sunset rays make it through to make the sky appear red, while blue rays are scattered more. The blue light rays are scattered toward the ground, and this makes the sky appear blue.
What else can I help you with?
Is there a color sky blue pink?
no that doesn't make sense when they say sky blue it means it is a blue colour that looks like the sky
Why is the sky blue on earth during day time and black in there moon?
the water in our planet reflects the sun light back to the atmosphere thus we have a blue sky the moon has no water and no atmosphere there for no blue sky during the day in the moon.
What is the Color of the sky?
The color of the sky is blue, on a nice day. If it is a stormy day it will probably be gray.
What color is the sky on a clear day?
Blue. :D
What is the usual colour of the sky on a sunny day?
Blue
What color is the sky in the day?
The color of the sky during the day is typically blue due to the scattering of sunlight by the Earth's atmosphere. The molecules in the atmosphere scatter shorter wavelengths of light, such as blue and violet, more efficiently than longer wavelengths, giving the sky its blue appearance.
When are the gases in the sky blue?
The gases in the sky appear blue during the day because of Rayleigh scattering, where shorter blue wavelengths of light are scattered more easily by the atmosphere. This scattering causes the blue light to be more prevalent, giving the sky its blue color.
Does scattering make the sky blue?
Yes, the scattering of sunlight by the gases and particles in the atmosphere is what causes the sky to appear blue. Shorter blue wavelengths are scattered more than other colors, making the sky predominantly blue during the day.
Colour of clear sky?
A light blue during day.
What rythmes with the best day was when i met you?
The sky was amazingly blue.
Is the sky blue on a summers day?
Hmmm.... that depends on the place, and which day you're talking about. Try being more specific.
Why sky appears blue in mid day?
The sky appears blue due to the scattering of light in the sky. During hot days the sky is not only very clear but hot air around a place helps to see the sky distinctly blue.
