go with red

Answer 2

The light that comes from the sun is made up of different colors. Together, they make up white light.

The apparent blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. Light is scattered as it enters the atmosphere. The amount of scattering depends on the wavelength of light. The longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.

However, much of the shorter wavelength light (blue, indigo and violet) is absorbed by gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue

As you look closer to the horizon, the sky appears much paler in color. To reach you, the scattered blue light must pass through more air. Some of it gets scattered away again in other directions. Less blue light reaches your eyes. The color of the sky near the horizon appears paler or white.

On Earth, the sun appears yellow. If you were on the moon, the sun would appear white. In space, there is no atmosphere to scatter the sun's light. All of light’s wavelength reaches you and produces white. On Earth, some of the shorter wavelength light (the blues and violets) are removed from the direct rays of the sun by scattering. The remaining colors together appear yellow. That’s why the sun is usually yellow. Also, out in space, the sky looks dark and black, instead of blue. This is because there is no atmosphere. There is no scattered light to reach your eyes.

Answer 3

Intrinsically the air of the Atmosphere is color less. The sky appears as certain colors because when the atoms of the air are irradiated by the solar wind, it causes the sky to fluores. In the day time it appears as a light Blue. At night it appears as a very dark blue

Answer 4

Well the sky isn't really blue all the time. It depends on the frequency of the light from the sun. When the frequency is higher, the more intense the color is, that is why we perceive the sky as Blue at daytime and reddish at sunset..

Answer 5

it depends on the condition of sky, when it is sunny day, it appears lighter blue during noon time and red orange, orange or red during afternoon or during sunset. I have two reasons, first because of polarization, second because of selective reflection.
polarization, as light travel through our atmosphere, it was polarized by air, the longer it travels the greater is the polarization, thus during noon time, light travels nearest so higher frequencies reach our eyes, they are violet or blue, since the eye is very sensitive to blue, we perceive blue

Answer 6

Is the sky really blue? It looks red to me too. Maybe it looks a little black. But it still looks red. My dog thinks it looks white. My rabbit thinks it looks black. My dog and rabbit are fighting now. My rabbit killed my dog. I should bury him now. But where? Oh yes, In the blue,red,black,white sky. No, that's too much work. I will shove him under my crib. Yes, that's what I will do. OK I am leaving now. It was nice talking with you. I hope we can do this again someday. But maybe I am dying today. Well, I guess I'll see you in the sky. Or in the ground. We'll have to wait and see. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I don't want to wait here. I am going to kill myself now. See you in Hell.

Answer 7

It appears blue because of the gases that make up our atmosphere, when light passes through them you see them as being blue. I reality, space is colorless, an empty black void.

Answer 8

You may be color blind. It is just the wavelenths of the elements in the atmosphere that make it appear blue to humans.

Answer 9

Its blue.
