Do you know why? Unlike the moon, the earth is surrounded by an atmosphere. The atmosphere is a mixture of gasses, mostly nitrogen and oxygen. The way the sunlight travels through the atmosphere makes the sky colored. Why blue? It doesn t look like it , but light is made up of several different colours, like you see in a rainbow. Each of these colours travels in a wave, but the wavelength (distance between the tops of each wave) varies. Red light has a long wavelength, while blue light has a much shorter wavelength. When light from the sun enters our atmosphere, the waves collide ( 碰撞 ) with gas molecules ( 分子 ). The longer wavelengths, like red and yellow, pass straight through and appear to us as “ regular sunlight”. Shorter wavelengths, like blue, bump into the gas molecules and scatter in different directions. Some of it still makes it through directly, but the rest is reflected back to our eyes from all directions, so the whole sky looks blue. The sky usually looks light blue. But it would be dark blue if you stood on top of the highest mountain, where there is less air to scatter the sunlight. Sometimes the sky doesn t look blue.
