    WHY IS THE SKY BLUE?
    We must first know that ordinary daylight
    is not light direct from the sun. It is light
    that has been scattered, or reflected, by
    countless tiny particles in the air. The blue
    of the sky was therefore thought at one
    time to be due to the dust particles in the
    air reflecting the short, blue waves while
    allowing the longer, red and yellow waves
    to pass through. A more recent theory
    explains the colour of the sky in quite
    another way. The light is still reflected, not
    by dust particles but by the crystals of
    frozen nitrogen in the upper atmosphere.
    The variations of sky colour at different
    times and at different distances are due to
    the nature and quantity of the atmosphere
    through which we are looking.
