Curiosity Corner: Why is the sky blue, not pink or green?
The sky appears blue due to sunlight scattering in Earth's atmosphere. While sunlight contains all colors, blue light disperses most effectively, illuminating the sky. Although violet scatters more, our eyes perceive blue due to its greater abundance and our visual sensitivity, explaining why the sky isn't purple, pink, or green.
