El COLOR del CIELO según la CIENCIA

The video explains Rayleigh scattering, where light is scattered by particles smaller than its wavelength, causing the sky to appear blue. The sun emits more blue light than violet, which is why we see a blue sky. At sunrise and sunset, the sun's light travels through more atmosphere, scattering blue light and leaving red and orange hues. On the Moon, with no atmosphere, the sky is always black. Mars has a thin atmosphere, making its sky bluish, but during dust storms, it turns reddish.

What is Rayleigh scattering primarily responsible for?

• The white color of clouds

• The green color of the ocean

• The blue color of the sky

• The red color of the sunset

Why does the sky appear blue instead of violet?

• Blue light is absorbed by the atmosphere

• Violet light is scattered more than blue

• The Sun emits more blue light than violet

• The atmosphere absorbs violet light

What causes the sky to appear orange or reddish during sunrise and sunset?

• The presence of dust particles in the air

• The Earth's rotation changes the light's color

• The atmosphere is thicker, scattering blue light away

• The Sun emits more red light at these times

Why is the sky always black on the Moon?

• There is no atmosphere to scatter light

• The Sun does not shine on the Moon

• The Moon's surface absorbs all light

• The Moon's gravity pulls light away

How does the Martian atmosphere affect the color of its sky during dust storms?

• The sky remains unchanged

• The sky turns reddish from suspended particles

• The sky appears green due to chemical reactions

• The sky becomes blue due to dust
