Why the Sky Is Not Actually Blue: A Chemist Explains
Have you ever looked up at the sky and wondered why it’s blue? Or perhaps questioned why it changes to shades of red, orange, or even grey? Most of us accept the blue sky as a natural fact, but in truth, the sky isn't truly blue at all. This color illusion is deeply rooted in the chemistry of light, atmospheric particles, and human perception. As a chemist, I invite you to take a closer look at what really paints our sky in hues that captivate us from sunrise to sunset.

Story By Benjamin Todd Eller on How to Become a Better Teacher
