because the sky is blue
why do we see spectacular events in the sky like rainbows,red sunset and blue sky
Rainbow is due to dispersion of light as it reflects from rain drops. Red sunset and blue sky are due to Rayleigh's scattering.
The sky is blue because of Rayleigh scattering. The sunset is so colorful due to the air.
The blue sky turns from blue to sunset colors when the sun is lower in the sky during sunset. This change in color is due to the scattering of sunlight by particles and gases in the atmosphere, causing shorter blue wavelengths to scatter and longer red wavelengths to dominate the sky's color.
colors with short wavelengths scatter more
they do not, the sky is a blue color because that is the color of light that breaks through the atmosphere. if air molecules did make the sky appear blue, then how would you explain a sunset?
At sunrise, the sky on Mars is a somewhat red color. At sunset, there is a blue tint to the sky. For most of the day, the sky is a butterscotch color.
Sunset
The sky is blue most of the time but at sunset it is red. These colours are caused by the refraction of light through the air molecules (mostly colourless gases).
The primariy reason the sunset is reddish is because of fine dust particles suspended in the air near the earth. When the light is coming at us "sideways" at sunset, this is more obvious. The sky is blue because the gasses in our atmosphere - mostly nitrogen - scatter blue light more than any other color.
The sky appears blue during the day due to Rayleigh scattering, which preferentially scatters short-wavelength blue light. At sunset, the sky can take on a green hue due to the way longer-wavelength light interacts with the atmosphere.
The sky on Mars appears butterscotch-colored during sunset due to the dust particles in the atmosphere scattering light in a way that creates this unique coloring.
