Feedback

1

Blue results from Rayleigh scattering of sunlight by air molecules.

2

Blue light scatters more than other colors, giving the sky its hue.

3

During sunrise/sunset, light passes through more atmosphere, scattering shorter wavelengths.

4

Direct overhead sun with clear air still shows blue due to scattering.

5

Without sunlight, the sky appears dark blue to black with stars.

6

Longer path through atmosphere scatters blue and leaves red/orange hues.

7

Clouds block sunlight, giving a gray or white sky appearance.

8

Pollution can scatter light and tint the sky with hazy colors.

9

Red light scatters less and is less dominant than blue in clear daytime.

10

Dust or particulates scatter light and tint the sky toward red/brown.
