What does earth's atmosphere generally look blue?

Earth's atmosphere appears blue primarily due to Rayleigh scattering, which is the scattering of sunlight by molecules and small particles in the atmosphere. Shorter wavelengths of light, such as blue, scatter more than longer wavelengths like red. When sunlight passes through the atmosphere, the blue light is scattered in all directions, making the sky look blue to our eyes. This effect is more pronounced when the sun is higher in the sky.


How would a lunar eclipse look if Earth had no atmosphere?

During a lunar eclipse with no atmosphere on Earth, the moon would appear dark and reddish due to the sunlight refracted by the Earth's atmosphere. Without the atmosphere, the moon would not have the red hue and would instead appear darker and possibly slightly illuminated by sunlight passing through the Earth's shadow.
