Why does the Sky appear Blue? + more videos | #aumsum #kids #whatif

AumSum was lying on the grass one afternoon, gazing at the sky. He tilted his head and wondered - Why does the Sky appear Blue?. AumSum soared upward, racing through the air. He rose higher and higher until he found himself inside the atmosphere, surrounded by swirling particles of air and gas. Sunlight streamed in, dazzling and white. As he floated among the particles, beams of sunlight broke apart around him. That’s when he realized the truth. Sunlight looked white, but it was actually made up of many colors - red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. Red light had long, stretched-out waves, while blue light had short, tiny waves. The tiny particles in the air were better at bouncing the short waves in every direction. So when sunlight entered the atmosphere, the red and yellow waves mostly passed straight through, but the blue waves scattered wildly. That was why the whole sky looked blue.
