untateve Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 The sky is blue and the sun is orange cuz God's a Broncos fan. Wait, that can't be right, he must be a Gators fan since his son is the QB. This is the most insightful post you have ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big John Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air. However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue. Blue sky from scattered light As you look closer to the horizon, the sky appears much paler in color. To reach you, the scattered blue light must pass through more air. Some of it gets scattered away again in other directions. Less blue light reaches your eyes. The color of the sky near the horizon appears paler or white. http://www.sciencemadesimple.com/sky_blue.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
