Mark Miodownik Quotes
When Light From The Sun Enters The Earth's Atmosphere, It Hits All Sorts Of Molecules (mostly Nitrogen And Oxygen Molecules) On Its Way To Earth And Bounces Off Them Like A Pinball. This Is Called Scattering, Which Means That On A Clear Day, If You Look At Any Part Of The Sky, The Light You See Has Been Bouncing Around The Atmosphere Before Coming Into Your Eye. If All Light Was Scattered Equally, The Sky Would Look White. But It Doesn't. The Reason Is That The Shorter Wavelengths Of Light Are More Likely To Be Scattered Than The Longer Ones, Which Means That Blues Get Bounced Around The Sky More Than Reds And Yellows. So Instead Of Seeing A White Sky When We Look Up, We See A Blue One.
