where do you live where the sky isn't blue?
- smnplk 5y agoThe sky is not blue, it's violet.
- skygazer 5y agoThe blue sky spectrum presents across 450–485 nm, the wavelengths of the color blue. Violet is 380nm. Although, perhaps I’m being too literal and your comment went over my head. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_sky_radiation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_sky_radiation
- smnplk 5y agoViolet is even shorter wavelength than blue, so it's scatered more than blue, but we see blue because our eyes "trick" us ;) https://www.forbes.com/sites/briankoberlein/2017/01/11/earths-skies-are-violet-we-just-see-them-as-blue/?sh=e6c0931735f3 https://www.forbes.com/sites/briankoberlein/2017/01/11/earth...
