Why is the Sky Blue? Learn about the atmosphere and how light scattering makes the sky look blue. Plus, get great science projects to do. ... On a clear sunny day, the sky above us looks bright blue. In the evening, the sunset puts on a brilliant show of reds, pinks and oranges. Why is the sky blue? What makes the sunset red?

A brilliant red sunset fading into a bruised purple afterglow conjures up images of tropical paradise and romance, while the blue sky on a sunny day can put a bounce in your step. In fact, both are caused by light scattering through particles in the air ... Why is the sky blue, and sunsets red?

In this part of Lesson 2, we will focus on the interaction of sunlight with atmospheric particles to produce blue skies and red sunsets. We will attempt to answer these two questions:

Meanwhile, further west, where the sun is still high in the sky, people who look skywards see all this blue light which is being scattered by the atmosphere. Hence blue sky and red sunsets are due to the same effect – differential scattering of light of different wavelengths.

The Blue Sky exhibit, another exhibit made for NCAR by the Exploratorium Museum, lets visitors scatter light to prove this saying is true. It uses concentrated gelatin to produce enough scattering in such ... "Sunsets are red, Skies are blue, and Clouds are white. If you want to know why this is so, Scattering is right."

A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight. ... Sunsets over the sea may also be orange,
