Why is the sky blue (and the sun yellow)?

Let's explore why the sky is blue, why the sunset/sunrise is red, why are clouds white. It's all due to scattering of light by the molecules of our atmosphere

This guy's accent is so 🆒....and his teaching skills r tooo good 👍😄

[@harshakanchu5186]

Personally its very beneficial for me......stress buster...stress that comes from the theory part...u r bursting it and giving me the easy way to learn without stress...really really too gud...

Perfect explanation. Thanks. Should we assume that the clouds are the same yellowish colour as the "blue-less" sun rays of are they actually white?

Actually violet scatters the most vut our eye receptors don't recognise them as it is pure violet While we can see colour in other place as it is made of diff. Colourfull colour

[@thoughtstreaming5880]

Superb

[@pranavkoka8597]

Sir can you please clarify my doubt. I've seen this video but I still don't understand why astronauts looking from space don't see the blue colour of the sky. Blue light does get scattered in the atmosphere, so, ideally everyone should see the sky to be in blue in colour no matter where they look from (unless it is night because there is no sunlight). Can you please answer it as quickly as possible. (It is a question in CBSE class 10 too)

[@sarahmathew2360]

There is no atmosphere in outer space and so there is no scattering of light. Since there is no scattered light to reach our eyes, the sky looks dark and black instead of blue.

[@pranavkoka8597]

Sarah Matthew. Why are the water bodies blue in colour? Isn't it because of scattering of light? So according to what you've said astronauts shouldn't be able to see water bodies on earth. But they do see right? Can you please explain.

[@sarahmathew2360]

@@pranavkoka8597 The earth's atmosphere scatters the blue light. The astronauts are able to see that as the earth also reflects the immense amount of light the sun gives out. I'm not completely sure of this answer as I'm also a tenth grader. 😅

[@johndawgsmoke1245]

Pranav Koka It is a POV issue. From an astronauts POV looking down through the atmosphere from outer space will still give the oceans that blue color. But because they are above the atmosphere, there is no “blue sky” because they are above the atmosphere .

[@dineshbhardwaj9328]

Nice

[@ericj199]

So at noon, both blue and red are scattered; is that why the sun looks white?

Actually, water molecules glow blue when they are excited by ultraviolet light.

[@sathibabu9365]

Sir super ,but why wave length increase scattering decrease, sir it is difficult but explain me please
