Why Is the Sky Blue? And Can You Make a Sunset at Home? 🌅 | Full Science Lesson for Kids

Why is the sky blue, and can you make a sunset at home? 🌅 Is the sky blue because it reflects the sea? In this longer lesson for kids aged 8 to 11, we visit a desert far from any sea, follow a sunbeam through the air, switch the air off, make a sunset, find out why clouds are white and why the sea is blue, make a sunset in a glass of milky water, and watch the Sun go down on Mars. Pause and guess at each question, try the quiz, and stay for the fun facts at the end! ▶ Try it yourself, free: https://nowiseewhy.com/blue-sky?from=...

Remember: sunlight is a mix of every colour, and the tiny molecules in the air scatter blue light much more than red, so blue reaches you from all over the sky. At sunset the light crosses so much more air that the blue is scattered away, and orange and red are left. Never look straight at the Sun, even at sunset. Try the sunset in a glass with a grown-up.
