Question

Why does the sky appears blue

Open in App
Solution

A clear cloudless day-time sky is bluebecause molecules in the air scatter bluelight 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.
