The predominant color of the sky, to human eyes, is blue. Our eyes are less sensitive to the shortest wavelength of violet, which is scattered most in the atmosphere.

As a common prism reveals, sunlight is made of all the colors of the rainbow. When light from the sun enters Earth's atmosphere, it is scattered by molecules in the atmosphere. The sky is blue because blue light in the Sun's rays bends more than red light.

The phenomenon known as Rayleigh scattering is responsible for the BLUE color.

The weather itself does not directly cause the sky to turn purple. Instead, atmospheric conditions such as scattering of light particles during sunset or sunrise can create the illusion of a purple sky.


Why isn't the sky purple?

The scattering of sunlight by the Earth's atmosphere causes shorter blue wavelengths to be dispersed more widely, making the sky appear blue to our eyes. This effect is more pronounced than the scattering of longer red wavelengths, resulting in a blue sky instead of a purple one.


Is the sky purple?

No, typically the sky appears blue during the day due to the way sunlight interacts with the Earth's atmosphere. However, during sunrise and sunset, the sky can take on a purple hue due to the scattering of shorter blue and green wavelengths of light, leaving the longer red and orange wavelengths dominating the sky.


Why does the sky sometimes look purple?

The sky may appear purple during sunset or sunrise due to the scattering of light in the atmosphere. This scattering causes shorter wavelength colors, like blue and violet, to be more prominent in the sky. Additionally, pollution or particles in the atmosphere can also affect how light is scattered, leading to a purple hue.
