The sky we see today is blue because of Rayleigh scattering. Sunlight contains all the colours of the spectrum, but shorter wavelengths, like blue and violet, scatter more when they hit air molecules.

Typically, during sunrise and sunset is when Mie Scattering is the strongest, and why we end up with those very red and orange sunrises and sunsets.

Indies and Icons, Tentpoles and Oscar Contenders: Annecy at 40 Sets the Animation Agenda From the biggest studio titles to cutting-edge independents, every frame of the global animation industry ...

America’s Top Animation Schools Wanna work at Marvel or write the next ‘Flow’? We’ve got the perfect academy for you on THR’s inaugural list.

With Rayleigh scattering, sunlight scatters shorter wavelength blue and violet light more effectively than reds and oranges. That's why the sky appears blue and the sun yellow.

THE much-anticipated opening of a beloved Chalkwell wine bar’s second location in Rayleigh High Street went swimmingly on Saturday with the warm reception the owners were hoping for.

In simple terms, the skies turn red from wildfire smoke due to how the air particles in the smoke scatter sunlight. That is due to two processes called Rayleigh scattering and Mie scattering.

Adult animated shows like The Simpsons and Rick and Morty are leading to revenue and viewership growth as well as job stability.

Instead, what we perceive as blue is actually an optical illusion created by light scattering through layers of transparent iris tissue, a phenomenon known as Rayleigh scattering.

TRIBUTES have been paid to a much-loved football coach who trained thousands of youngsters in Rayleigh and loved giving back to the community.

Blue light has a shorter wavelength, due to which it’s scattered more easily by the tiny molecules in the air. This scattering, known as Rayleigh scattering, is why we see a blue sky during the day.
