What color would the sky be if the sun was green?

What color would the sky be if the sun was green?

The colour we see the sun as is a yellowy white which is partly due to refraction in the atmosphere. If we removed that it would appear just white as all the colours either side of green mix and cancel out leaving just white.

What the sky would look like if it wasn’t blue?

If we didn’t have the Rayleigh Scattering that produces blue sky, then we would see a black sky with the sun as an intense white light. The stars, and Moon if in the right place, would be visible even during daylight hours.

Why is it important that the sky is blue?

When the Sun’s light reaches the Earth’s atmosphere it is scattered, or deflected, by the tiny molecules of gas (mostly nitrogen and oxygen) in the air. The blue light that gives the sky its colour, is sufficiently bright to make all the stars that we see at night disappear since the light they emit is much dimmer.

What Color Is A Mirror?

As a perfect mirror reflects back all the colours comprising white light, it’s also white. That said, real mirrors aren’t perfect, and their surface atoms give any reflection a very slight green tinge, as the atoms in the glass reflect back green light more strongly than any other colour.

Is the sky actually purple?

It turns out our sky is violet, but it appears blue because of the way our eyes work. Light with “blue” wavelengths stimulate blue cones the most, but they also stimulate red and green just a little bit. If it really was blue light that was scattered most, then we’d see the sky as a slightly greenish blue.

What’s the real color of the sky?

The Short Answer: Sunlight reaches Earth’s atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gases and particles in the air. Blue light is scattered more than the other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.

Why is the sky blue for adults?

Gases and particles in Earth’s atmosphere scatter sunlight in all directions. Blue light is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.

Why is the sky blue because of the ocean?

“The ocean looks blue because red, orange and yellow (long wavelength light) are absorbed more strongly by water than is blue (short wavelength light). So when white light from the sun enters the ocean, it is mostly the blue that gets returned. Same reason the sky is blue.”

Why is green the most scattered color in the sky?

Blue light scatters the most and the colors go down from there. So if you have say a red dwarf, that is producing a lot less blue, then green is the next ‘most scattered’ color and with blue mostly missing, green should be prominent. Other other way would be to have something in the atmosphere that absorbs blue light.

What color would the sky be on a planet with blue skies?

On a planet where such conditions were normal, the sky would always appear green to a human visitor. However, it would also be dimmer overall and all blues would be muted, since less blue light is getting through the atmosphere.

Should the sky appear violet or at least violet-blue?

Sure, blue light is scattered more than red or green, but violet light has an even shorter wavelength, so violet should be scattered more than blue. Shouldn’t the sky appear violet, or at least a violet-blue?

Why does the sky change color as it approaches the horizon?

Closer to the horizon, the sky fades to a lighter blue or white. The sunlight reaching us from low in the sky has passed through even more air than the sunlight reaching us from overhead. As the sunlight has passed through all this air, the air molecules have scattered and rescattered the blue light many times in many directions.
