Q:

why is the sky blue

A:

The sky appears blue because of Rayleigh scattering. 🌌

When sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere, it is scattered in all directions by the gases and particles in the air. Blue light travels in shorter, smaller waves and is scattered more strongly than other colors, which is why our eyes perceive the sky as blue during the day. ☀️✨
