Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which phenomenon is responsible for the blue color of the sky?
  • Step 1: Understand that sunlight is made up of many colors, like a rainbow.
  • Step 2: Know that when sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere, it interacts with tiny particles in the air.
  • Step 3: Learn about Rayleigh scattering, which is when shorter wavelengths of light (like blue) are scattered more than longer wavelengths (like red).
  • Step 4: Realize that because blue light is scattered in all directions, we see a blue sky during the day.
