As sunlight passes through the atmosphere, its wavelengths (color) are scattered by air molecules into all directions, with blue wavelengths being scattered more strongly than others – hence why the sky appears bluer. Atmospheric oxygen is provided to us by microbes known as cyanobacteria through photosynthesis; they produce water and carbon dioxide which plants turn […]

The sky is blue because sunlight that strikes Earth’s atmosphere scatters into all directions. Rays with shorter wavelengths (such as blue and violet ) tend to get scattered more readily than longer ones like red or orange. Your eyes are most greatly stimulated by blue-tinged light. Other colors provide only partial stimulation and appear less

Why Is The Sky Blue? Our atmosphere scatters light in all directions; air molecules and gases contribute to this scattering process, with blue becoming more often visible due to how light is scattered in this way than any other color. C. V. Raman provides us with this explanation in his excellent book entitled Why Does

Ask any child what color the sky is and they are likely to say blue – however a clear midday sky doesn’t always appear so hued. As sunlight enters our atmosphere, it passes through gases such as nitrogen and oxygen that scatter light of all colors; blue light being spread far more than violet or

As sunlight passes through the atmosphere, particles of oxygen and nitrogen scatter it, with shorter wavelengths such as blue being scattered more than longer ones such as red. Tyndall and Rayleigh initially believed that the sky was blue because it contained dust particles and droplets of water vapour; later scientists came to realise this explanation

The sky appears blue due to sunlight being scattered by gases and particles in the atmosphere, with blue wavelengths being scattered more readily than any other. At midday, when the sun is directly overhead, its light appears white. But during sunrise and sunset when more of its rays must travel through atmosphere layers to reach

Sunlight penetrates our atmosphere and is absorbed and scattered in various ways; blue light is typically absorbed less, and red light more. This explains why the sky appears blue and sunsets and sunrises appear redder due to more light passing through more atmosphere and reaching your eyes. Rayleigh Scattering As sunlight travels through our planet’s

Celeste (Spanish: [the’leste, selest]) is a pale turquoise blue colour used widely as sky color. Two conventional hues known by this name: pure celeste as used for sky coloring and light sky blue which closely resembles its hex code but offers lighter hues are both known by this name. Argentina’s national color is red, and

Mercury is an extremely toxic neurotoxin. As fish consume it, bacteria convert it to methylmercury which has the ability to affect fetal brain development as well as increase heart disease risk. Tuna is an herbivorous predator, feeding off of smaller fish and marine plankton that all contain trace amounts of mercury. At Wild Planet, we
