Hey Friends,
I'm sure if anyone would ask you what's the color of the sky you will be in laughter and say it's blue.
But what if I tell you that's not true.
Yes,but then why does it appear so blue.
 Let's find out now!

  • So it all starts with the sunlight traveling in a straight line towards the surface of the earth.
  •  Until it collides on a certain object resulting in either reflection scattering or bending.

  •  Common let's try, just take a prism and hold it near the sun rays allowing the light to pass through it.
  •  Once the light passes you could see it getting bent into seven different rainbow colors namely Violet Indigo Blue Green Yellow Orange and Red.

  •  Just like that, when the white light from the Sun enters Earth's atmosphere most of the red yellow and green wavelengths of light pass straight through the atmosphere to our eyes.
  • Whereas the blue and violet wave hits and bounces off  the molecules of gas in the atmosphere, separates the blue and the violet waves fill the rest and makes them scatter in every direction.
  •  However the other color wavelengths pull themselves together as a group and therefore they remain white.
  • Resulting in the scattered violet and blue light controlling the sky appearance and making it appear.
 But now you might be wondering if blue and violet both reacts the same way, Why don't we see the violet sky as well?

  •  Well that's because some of the violet light is absorbed by the upper atmosphere while another reason for it is that our eyes are most sensitive to adapt to the color blue than violet.
  • Hence you have your answer Why the Sky is Blue Right!
