    WHY DO WE SEE THE

    Probably you are all aware of the colour of the Sun: it's white, and white has all
    the colours. Yeah, it's right but have you ever looked up at the sky and thought, "If
    it's white, why are we only able to see 'The Yellow Sun'?" I'm here to make you
    aware of this mesmerizing topic.

    The Sun is one of the most important


    source in our everyday life. It's a huge and
    shining ball in the sky. It strews beamlines
    and makes our Earth bright. These beamlines
    travel through space and reach the Earth's
    atmosphere. But as they enter our
    atmosphere, something interesting happens:
    Refraction of White Light THE BEAMLINES GET SCATTERED!

    Imagine the atmosphere as a big playground full of tiny particles and molecules.
    When sunlight enters this playground, it bumps into these particles and gets
    scattered around in all directions according to the colour that the light carries.
    Actually, this separation doesn't just cause the visible colour of the Sun; it also
    causes the sky's visible colour!

    Two Minutes Before the Sun Disappears Below the Horizon

    For illustration, sometimes we see the sky in pure blue during the day and
    yellow-red in the evening. These are some of the results of the light coming from
    the Sun.

    Now, let's focus on the colours of sunlight. Sunlight is made up of all the colours
    known as "rainbow colours". Some colours get more separated by the atmosphere
    than the others. But how does this happen? At this point, I have to share scientific
    facts to explain what I mean.
    SUN AS YELLOW?
    The main reason for all these incredible things is: "THE WAVELENGTHS" of the
    colours. Every colour has different wavelengths. But shorter wavelength colours
    like blue and violet get scattered when they get into the atmosphere. That's why
    the sky looks blue most of the time, especially when the Sun is high in the sky.

    Quite the opposite of this, some of the colours


    get less scattered, like red and yellow because
    their wavelengths are longer than the others.
    When we see the Sun at sunrise or sunset, when
    the Sun is low in the sky, it may appear yellow,
    orange, or red. But that is only because its short-
    wavelength colors like green, blue and violet are
    scattered out by the Earth's atmosphere, much
    *The Wavelengths of Colours like small waves are dispersed by big rocks
    along the shore.

    Sometimes you might even see cool optical effects in the sky, like sun halos or sun
    dogs caused by water droplets or ice crystals in clouds. These can change the look
    of the Sun.

    So, the next time you're out and about and


    you see the Sun shining yellow in the sky,
    remember – it's not just a pretty sight, it's a
    fascinating dance of light and air that makes
    our world so colorful and awe-inspiring.
