Why Some Skies Look Bluer Than Others
Key Takeaways
- Blue skies arise from Rayleigh scattering, which favors shorter wavelengths of light.
- Larger particles such as aerosols, smoke and moisture produce Mie scattering that can make skies appear white or hazy.
- A reported Himalayan dust-storm preprint suggests sky color changes can reflect the mixing of natural dust and pollution.
