heyy bro ur answer........
Well, you can, if there's enough of it. You see something when light bounces off it, or is transformed in passing through it.
Air does affect light, but not much, so it seems invisible. The average air molecule is about .1 nm across, while light waves are on the order of 500 nm across. The wave just washes over the molecule without being substantially affected.
The effect is further diminished by the fact that the atoms are so widely spaced, about 1 nanometer apart: most of the space between the atoms is empty. For solid objects, the atoms are essentially touching: there is no path through them that doesn't affect the light. For gases, especially light ones like air, the light is almost unaffected as it passes through.
When you put a whole atmosphere's worth of it together, you can see something. Some wavelengths are scattered more than others, with the blue wavelengths scattered most. A few miles of that gives a lovely blue glow:
You're used to seeing it from the bottom, where it has the same pretty blue shade. You can't see any small chunk of it, but when you look through miles of it, it has a color...........
