why does sky appears to be blue
Answers
Hi there, If you look away from the sun, blue light travelling from the sun through the earth's atmosphere (but not directly toward you) is scattered by the molecules toward your eye. Thus the sky looks blue because scattering from molecules is much more probable for blue light than red Hope it helps...
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
