Question 23
Why is the colour of the clear sky blue?

Solution

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. Blue colour gets scattered the maximum since the particles present in the atmosphere have size which is comparable to the wavelength of blue light.
