| Oct 10, 2021 at 12:16 | comment | added | user313211 | @space guy, When we open torch , we see white light , but not blue people say because white is scattered more and blue at negligible amount. But than why sky is blue, if more intensity light is coming than it may scatter more blue colour but. ......white scattering will also be more proportionally, than why sky appear blue not white? | |

| Oct 10, 2021 at 10:35 | comment | added | John Hunter | Could you give an example please of when it looks bluish. The sun appears redder at sunrise or sunset, when the light to our eyes is passing through more of the earth's atmosphere, so perhaps the blue is absorbed/scattered | |
