Why is the sky blue?
Sunlight contains many colors, but air molecules scatter shorter wavelengths more than longer ones. Blue light has a shorter wavelength than red light, so it gets scattered in all directions across the sky and reaches your eyes from everywhere. That’s why the daytime sky looks blue.
Why are sunsets red, then?
At sunset, sunlight travels through much more atmosphere to reach you. Air molecules scatter much of the blue light out of the direct path, leaving more red and orange light to reach your eyes. Dust and tiny particles can enhance those warm colors.
