When we have a good amount of intensity light source and when we turn it ON

When looking from close we see white light beams (glow/scattering) But looking from far it look bluish.

Why?

    $\begingroup$ 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 $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 10, 2021 at 10:35

  • $\begingroup$ @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? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ In most dialects of English, we don't use the phrase "open the torch" to mean "turn on the torch". When I open a torch, I see batteries. $\endgroup$

The sky is blue and the sunset red because the atmosphere scatters more blue than red. I have never observed a distant white light showing a blue tint.
