Hi there! Have you ever looked up at the sky and wondered why it is blue? Let's find out together!
The sun shines light that looks white to us, but it’s actually made of all the colors mixed together, like a rainbow!
When the sunlight comes to Earth, it meets the air and tiny little bits called particles. The colors in the light spread out, but the blue color spreads more than the others because it is special and smaller.
This blue light spreads all over the sky, and that's why the sky looks blue to us.
