Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ____ colour of the sky results from a phenomenon called scattering.
A
Red
B
White
C
Blue
D
Yellow
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The sky is blue due to a phenomenon called Raleigh scattering. This scattering refers to the scattering of electromagnetic radiation (of which light is a form) by particles of a much smaller wavelength.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gases and particles in Earth’s atmosphere scatter sunlight in all directions. Blue light is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.

Detailed explanation-3: -Scattering of light is the phenomenon in which light rays deviate from their original path upon striking an obstacle like dust, gas molecules, or water vapors. The scattering of light gives rise to many spectacular phenomena such as the Tyndall effect and the red hues that can be seen at sunrise and sunset.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer is Scattering. Sunlight reaches Earth’s atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gases and particles in the air. Blue light is scattered more than the other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
