Q:

why is the sky blue

A:

The sky appears blue because of Rayleigh scattering! 🌌

As sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere, it collides with gas molecules and scatters in all directions. Blue light travels in shorter, smaller waves, so it is scattered more strongly than other colors, making the sky look blue to our eyes. ☀️✨
