How sky is blue all the world

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


When white light shines through a prism, the light is separated into all its colors. A prism is a specially shaped crystal.

If you visited The Land of the Magic Windows, you learned that the light you see is just one tiny bit of all the kinds of light energy beaming around the universe--and around you!

Like energy passing through the ocean, light energy travels in waves, too. Some light travels in short, "choppy" waves. Other light travels in long, lazy 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 all the 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.

the blue color of the sky

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The color of the sky is due to the property of dispersion of light the white light of the color before reaching the earth's surface gets dispersed into its 7 components VIBGYOR the molecules present in the atmosphere are capable of scattering only the light with the shortest wavelength and hence red light won't get scattered

As the light that we get from sun is white in color and due to atmospheric refraction splitting up of white light takes place and the light with the longest wavelength gets lost in the space and blue and violet has the shortest wavelength but the intensity of blue will be much more than that of violet which makes us see the sky blue in color and our eyes are more sensitive to blue light
