Nature’s Art Show: How Sunlight Paints The Sky

We live in a world full of colors and one of the most magical moments happens.
When the sky turns red, orange, and pink as the day comes to an end.

Every time the sun begins to take down can watch the colors change and feel like the sky is painting a picture just for us.

This colors happen mostly because of the sunlight traveling through the air.
The sun light is made of many colors all mixed together and when the sun is high in the sky the light goes straight through the air than the sky looks blue.

But when the sun is low light has to travel through more air and tiny particles scatter the shorter blue light away leaving the reds and oranges for us to see.
We can think of it like sunlight taking a longer journey before it reaches to our eyes.
Dust water and clouds in the air can also change how bright or soft the colors look.

This shows us that every sunset is a little different and always special The sky can also look different depending on where we are and what is in the air.
Storms pollution or humidity can make the reds and oranges even more stronger or softer.

By observing this colors scientists understand more about the atmosphere and how light travels through it .

So the next time we watch a sunset we can remember that we are seeing science and beauty working together.
It is a quiet moment that teaches us about light about colors and the way the world changes every day
