| Jul 23, 2019 at 5:26 | comment | added | Mr X | @RogerJBarlow I beg your pardon, but Rayleigh scattering occurs when the particles have sizes that are shorter than the wavelength of the incident light. When the particles are much larger, it is called geometric scattering. Which is why the sky turns deep orange-red during sandstorms. | |

And you could write an answer with that link in it, though you would be expected to provide a substantial enough taste here on physics to be some kind of answer on it's own (but of course it can also be less then you have already written so that it serves as a teaser). | |

| Jul 8, 2018 at 21:24 | comment | added | SavedbyZer0 | Interesting @RogerJBarlow, but the fact is that the sky on other celestial bodies is NOT blue. They sky on Mars is pale yellow, and on Titan(which has a fairly thick atmosphere) it is deep orange during midday. How do you explain this? | |
| Jul 8, 2018 at 21:16 | comment | added | RogerJBarlow | The size of the molecules has nothing to do with it. If I'm allowed to self-publicise, see the explanation on my blog post on rogerjbarlow.com | |
