Blue sky is due to 'Rayleigh scattering', which is 'blue shift' of the light (a Doppler 'compression' effect) on interaction with the particles forming the ionosphere and atmosphere.
Red shift it when the atmosphere is rotating away from the sun's light so the waves are red shifted (a Doppler 'dilation' or extension effect). The scientific basis of this is assumed and considered as well understood by most but in fact is not. For instance there is sometimes a 'green flash' as the sun sets. We do not know precisely what causes it.
The sky appears blue during midday due to Rayleigh scattering, where shorter blue wavelengths are scattered more by air particles. In the afternoon, the sun is lower on the horizon, and its light has to pass through more of the Earth's atmosphere, scattering more longer wavelengths like red and orange, giving the sky that color.
A red sunset occurs when sunlight passes through a thicker layer of the Earth's atmosphere, scattering the shorter blue and green wavelengths. This leaves behind the longer red and orange wavelengths, creating the red hue we see in the sky.
red is the farthest of all colors Because the wavelength of red is less than the wavelength of blue. Meaning the red wavelength is shorter than the blue one. The shorter it is the farthest and slowest it reach the earth's atmosphere before it dispersed to sky.
The sunset makes the sky turn red.
The color of the sky varies depending on factors such as time of day and weather conditions. In general, the sky appears blue during the day due to the scattering of sunlight by the Earth's atmosphere. At sunrise and sunset, the sky can appear pink, orange, or red due to the scattering of shorter wavelengths of light.
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.
colors with short wavelengths scatter more
The real color of the sky is blue due to the way Earth's atmosphere scatters sunlight. At sunrise and sunset, the sky can appear orange, red, or pink due to the angle of the sun and the scattering of light. During midday, the sky may appear a deeper blue due to the sun being directly overhead.
because the sky is blue
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.
The sky appears blue during midday due to Rayleigh scattering, where shorter blue wavelengths are scattered more by air particles. In the afternoon, the sun is lower on the horizon, and its light has to pass through more of the Earth's atmosphere, scattering more longer wavelengths like red and orange, giving the sky that color.
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 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.
No, the sky appears red during a sunset due to the scattering of sunlight by particles in the atmosphere, creating a red hue.
The sky appears red at sunset because of a phenomenon called scattering. When the sun is low on the horizon, its light has to pass through more of the Earth's atmosphere, which scatters shorter wavelengths like blue and green light, leaving behind longer wavelengths like red and orange to dominate the sky.
