Rayleigh Scattering
Tiny particles dictate the sky's shifting palette from blue to fiery red

Why does Rayleigh scattering cause the sky to appear blue during the day but red at sunset?
Because shorter wavelengths like blue scatter more during the day, while longer wavelengths like red dominate at sunset due to the longer path through the atmosphere.
Because the sun emits more blue light during the day and more red light at sunset.
Because the atmosphere absorbs blue light during the day and reflects red light at sunset.

Why does Rayleigh scattering cause the sky to appear blue rather than red during the day?
Because shorter wavelengths like blue scatter much more strongly than longer wavelengths like red.
Because the atmosphere absorbs red light more than blue light.
Because human eyes are more sensitive to red light than blue light.
