There is a science behind the blue colour of the sky. As we know our sun rays carry seven colours and these colours when reach our atmosphere, they scatter. The colour which scatters the most is Blue and Red colour scatters the least. As a result, we see blue in most of the places especially the sky.
The Colour of the Sky
There is a science behind the blue colour of the sky. As we know our sun rays carry seven colours and these colours when reach our atmosphere, they scatter. The colour which scatters the most is Blue and Red colour scatters the least. As a result, we see blue in most of the places especially the sky.
What are the Seven Colours
Apart from Red and Blue the other colours emitted by sun rays are Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and then Red. And whatever the other colours we see is the combination of these major colours.
As the red colour scatters the least so it is used on signboards across the road. They can also be seen on the back of the vehicle. Because it scatters less, it can be seen from far.
Conclusion
It is our nature which has gifted us such beautiful colours and as a result, the sky looks blue, the environment looks green, etc. All these things look like a miracle but are part of science. Nowadays due to pollution, we cannot see the original beauty of colour in our environment. It’s our duty to protect our nature and earth.
