Question

Why are clouds white in colour?

Open in App
Solution

Clouds are white because their water droplets or ice crystals are large enough to scatter the light of the seven wavelengths the component colours of white light(i.e red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet), which combine to produce white light.

Hope this helps :)
