Sunlight travels through Earth’s atmosphere where it is redirected by gas molecules and small particles into various directions, with blue wavelengths becoming scattered more readily than others, giving the sky its characteristic color during daylight hours. Sunrise and sunset sunlight must pass through more of the atmosphere, leading to more blue being scattered away and…
Color is more than simply one hue; understanding their interactions is crucial for creating presentations and selecting a color palette for projects. Tyndall and Rayleigh believed that the blue color of the sky must be due to microscopic particles of dust or droplets of water vapour in the atmosphere. Blue Light Light from the sun…
As sunlight travels through the atmosphere, its light is scattered by air molecules and particles, with shorter wavelengths such as violet and blue being dispersed more widely than longer ones (red). Sky blue color comes from sunlight which has passed through our atmosphere; lunar illumination does not have this same impact, since its beam hasn’t…
