	Blue Sky and Rayleigh Scattering
		The blue color of the sky is caused by the scattering of sunlight off the molecules of the atmosphere.
		As a qualitative examination of sky brightness and the saturation of the blue sky color, measurements of the color of the sky photograph were made from a computer monitor using Adobe Illustrator's color tools.
		In the graph at upper left, the blue brightness was normalized to 1 and the red and green expressed as a fraction of the blue.

	Blue Skies and Red Sunsets
		The light from the sun is white, a combination of all the colours of the rainbow and the earths atmosphere is full of air which is combination of many types of molecules which are much smaller than the wavelength of light.
		Blue light is the shortest wavelength of the colours in white light, while red is the longest.
		The complementary affect of the blue sky is the red sunset or sunrise.

	Chinese History - Sun Yat-sen (Sun Wen, Sun Zhongshan) (www.chinaknowledge.org)
		Sun Yat-sen (1866-1925, in China called Sun Wen å«æ— or Sun Zhongshan å«ä¸å±± "Nakayama"; the name Sun Yixian å«é¸ä», Cantonese "Sun Yat-sen", is only used in the West) is the most prominent leader of the Chinese "bourgeois" revolution (he called himself a professional revolutionary), he was called the "father of the nation" (Guofu åç¶).
		The symbol of the society was the blue sky-white sun flag later used by the Republic of China.
		Although Sun who was abroad in November 1911 was proposed as the leader of the new republic, the ceded presidency to the powerful general Yuan Shikai è¢ä¸—å± who was able to convince the Manchu government to retreat.

	The Sky on Alien Worlds (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The sky on To'ul'h appears green because of its thickness, and because of airborne phytoplankton using chlorophyll and xanthophylls.
		Green isn't normally seen as a sky colour on earth unless clouds block just the right portions of the rest of the sky, but it does occur sometimes during storms when the sun is low in the sky.
		Though a type G star like the sun has a peak in the green/blue range, a type M star has a peak in red, K peaks in orange, F stars are brightest in the blue, and A and higher are brightest in the ultraviolet range.

	Why Is The Sky Blue
		Because violet and blue are the shortest wavelengths the sky appears to be violet / blue.
		Blue is one of the primary colors and thus more easily activated and seen by our eyes.
		It is because blue light from the sun strikes the air molecules and scatters and our eyes perceive it as blue.

		Blue light also has a frequency that is closer to the resonant frequency of atoms than that of red light.
		Blue light pushes on the electrons with a frequency that is closer to their natural resonant frequency than that of red light.
		When the sun is on the horizon, its light takes a longer path through the atmosphere to your eyes than when the sun is directly overhead.

	why_is_sky_blue
		The sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue to your eyes more than they scatter red.
		When white sunlight passes through a lot of atmosphere the blue is scattered out of the beam leaving the red in the beam.
		Thus each molecule scatters 16 times more blue light than red because the blue light is closer to resonance, and yet red light photons are scattered by 8 times as many molecules as blue ones because of their longer wavelength.

	Blue Sky
		The light we receive from the Sun is electromagnetic energy which has a range of wavelengths.
		The Earth's sky is blue because the air molecules (largely nitrogen and oxygen) are much smaller than the wavelength of light.
		Blue light, however, is much more readily scattered than light of longer wavelength.

	Reading on Blue Skies and White Clouds
		The color of the sky is composed of violet -- our eyes are not very sensitive to violet -- lots of blue, and decreasing amounts of green, yellow, and red.
		If you observe the sky with an optical spectrometer, you note the blue sky has a broad band of colors, extending from the blue and fading toward the red.
		The foam on a liquid such as beer is white even though the liquid itself is colored; here, the walls of the foam bubbles are so thin that little of the light is absorbed by the liquid while reflection and scattering occur at each of the many liquid-air interfaces.

	Scattering of light (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		As a result, the sky is red when you look towards the sun (never look directly at the sun!), particularly when looking through a substantial portion of the atmosphere as occurs when the sun is on the horizon at sunrise or sunset.
		As the powder dissolves, the beam turns a dark blue color (when viewed from the side), similar to the appearance of the sky at high altitudes where there is little air to scatter the blue light.
		If the particulate size is too large, colors other than blue will be scattered and the beam may appear white or gray when viewed from the side, similar to the appearance of the sky when their is much dust or smog present.

	Sprites, Blue Jets and Elves
		Some humans see sprites as white or green in color, but that is a result of the inability of the human eye to distinguish colors at such low intensities.
		The blue jet was caught, again quite by accident, on low-light cameras from the University of Alaska-Fairbanks onboard a NASA research jet in 1994.
		They are a pale blue in color, and often appear as grainy, upward shooting blobs or cones of light leaving a trail behind.

	Scientific American: Why is the sky blue?
		To understand why the sky is blue, we need to consider the nature of sunlight and how it interacts with the gas molecules that make up our atmosphere.
		Sunlight, which appears white to the human eye, is a mixture of all the colors of the rainbow.
		Since scattering by the atmosphere causes the sky to be blue, a planet with no atmosphere cannot have a bright sky.

	Re: why is the sky blue?
		White light from the sun passes through air fairly well, but there is a lot of air between here and the outer reaches of the atmosphere, and some of the light gets scattered.
		The wavelength of red light is the longest, and blue light has the shortest wavelength, with orange, yellow, green, blue and indigo in between.
		When the sun gets really low in the sky, the light has to go through much more air, which is why the sun looks bright red (never look at the sun directly unless it's very low, near to sunset - you could go blind).

	Blue Sky - Why is the Sky Blue?
		Light from the sun or a light bulb may look white, but it is actually a combination of many colors.
		The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering.
		On Earth, some of the shorter wavelength light (the blues and violets) are removed from the direct rays of the sun by scattering.

		A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light.
		The white light from the sun is a mixture of all colours of the rainbow.
		Tyndall and Rayleigh thought that the blue colour of the sky must be due to small particles of dust and droplets of water vapour in the atmosphere.

		These begin with the blue sky and red sunrises and sunsets, and include rainbows, halos, mirages, other kinds of lights and why stars twinkle.
		Splotches, circles or lines with color, or maybe just a hint of color, in the sky that don't pass the rainbow test are almost surely caused by ice crystals or by water drops that are smaller than those that create rainbows.
		Sun dogs, which are splotches of color on one or both sides of the sun, usually at a 22-degree angle from the sun, are more common than people think.

		Blue light has a short wavelength, and the particles in the air scatter it around, making the sky appear blue.
		When light from the Sun enters Earth's atmosphere, it is scattered, or deflected, by molecules in the atmosphere -- primarily nitrogen and oxygen.
		But in this case, the sky's combination of violet and blue elicits the same cone response as pure blue plus white light, which is an equal mixture of all the colors.
