- visible light - Why is the sky never green? It can be blue or orange . . .
Can you explain why the colour of the sky passes from blue to orange red skipping altogether the whole range of green frequencies? I have only heard of the legendary 'green, emerald line flash' that appears in particular circumstances Green flashes are enhanced by mirage, which increase refraction is more likely to be seen in stable, clear
- optics - Why does the sky change color? Why is the sky blue during the . . .
Blue light is scattered more than red light, so during the day when we look at parts of the sky that are away from the sun, we see more blue than red During sunset or sunrise, most of the light from the sun comes towards the earth at a sharp angle, so now the blue light is mostly scattered away, and we see mostly red light
- Why is the sky not purple? - Physics Stack Exchange
The net effect is that the red and green cones are stimulated about equally by the light from the sky, while the blue is stimulated more strongly This combination accounts for the pale sky blue colour It may not be a coincidence that our vision is adjusted to see the sky as a pure hue

- The blue sky — is the simple Rayleigh explanation wrong?
Can you explain why you (or your sources) claim water scatters "way less" light than air? When we look at the blue sky we're looking through something like 50km of air About 200m down in the water it's essentially pitch black
- Why is the sky *uniformly* blue? - Physics Stack Exchange
The sky seems to be more uniformly blue than the typical explanation suggests Further, it follows from the usual explanation that blue light is partially reflected back into the space
- Why is the sky blue and the sun yellow? - Physics Stack Exchange
The blue color of light of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering But the sun itself appears yellow in color whereas the scattered sunlight itself appears blue Why does this happen? Should the sun
- Why is wavelength of violet colour less than wavelength of blue colour?
Now, when it comes to violet, its wavelength is the least in the visible spectrum It is made by the mixture of red and blue So according to my logic, it should lie between red and blue in the spectrum But it doesn't, its wavelength is less than wavelength of blue How is this possible?
