Why Is The Sky Blue And The Sunset Red?
Exploring the Science Behind Blue Skies and Red Sunsets
Every kid has asked us a question that usually sounds like the following: “Why is the water in the sea blue, but as soon as I touch it, it becomes transparent?” And our answer would be: “Because the sea is only reflecting the color of the sky, which is blue. But water doesn’t have a color”. And if we are unlucky, the kid then asks, “Okay then, why is the sky blue?”. And somehow, it seems like a hard question to answer. But don’t worry, you’ve come to the right place to be able to understand why in fact the sky appears to blue and why it changes color depending on where the Sun is located in the sky.
Through this video, you will explore the scientific answers to these questions and find out why our sky and sunsets appear with such vibrant colors. Dive into the world of light, matter and atmosphere and learn the reason behind the mesmerizing blues and reds of the sky.
