Why is the Sky Blue? - Sky Color Explained

The video explores why the sky appears blue and why sunsets show red, orange, or pink hues. It explains that sunlight is a spectrum of colors, each with different wavelengths. Blue light is scattered by atmospheric gases, making the sky appear blue. During sunset, the sun's light travels through more atmosphere, scattering shorter wavelengths and allowing longer wavelengths like red and orange to dominate, creating vibrant sunset colors.
