Colors of the Sky Science Project Idea
What is the cause of the colors of sunset and sunrise and of the blueness of the sky?What are the chief colors of sunset and sunrise?In the experiment, in which by means of the prism you broke up white light into the different colors, which colors were bent least, and which most, from the original path of the light ray?The atmosphere, with its particles of moisture and dust, has some power of separating the colors which make white light.Explain now why the reds and oranges are seen at sunset and sunrise.Why are they not seen at midday?
Keeping in mind again the rays that are bent most by the prism, and the fact that the atmosphere has some power to separate the rays which compose sunlight, how do you account for the blueness of the sky?This can be illustrated to some extent by putting a few drops of milk into a jar of water and looking through the jar at a light.Explain why the sunsets are apt to be most brilliant in late summer and fall.During the great forest fires in the northern United States and in Canada, the sun appeared orange or even red in color.Explain.
