#ColorChallenge FridaySkyBlue the color that resembles the clear sky at noon.

Yes the sky is Blue, but have you ever wondered why?

The light from the sun looks white. But it is really made up of all the colors of the rainbow.

Just like energy passing through the ocean, light energy travels in waves. Some light travels in short waves. Other light travels in long waves. Blue light waves are shorter than red light waves.

All light travels in a straight line unless something gets in the way and does one of these things:—

Reflect it (like a mirror)

Bend it (like a prism)

or

Scatter it (like molecules of the gases in the atmosphere)

Sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by gases and particles in the air. Blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth's atmosphere. Blue is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.

So what makes a sunset seem red or orange?

As the sun sets lower in the sky, its light is passing through more of the atmosphere to reach you. Even more of the blue light is scattered, allowing the red and yellow waves to pass straight through to your eyes.
