Why Is the Sky Blue? | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids La luz del Sol llega a la atmósfera de la Tierra y se dispersa en todas direcciones por los gases y las partículas que se encuentran en el aire La luz azul se esparce más que el resto de los colores porque viaja en olas más cortas, más pequeñas Este es el motivo por el cual casi siempre vemos el cielo de color azul
Why Is the Sky Blue? | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids Blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth's atmosphere Blue 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 Closer to the horizon, the sky fades to a lighter blue or white
What Is an Aurora? | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids There, the particles interact with gases in our atmosphere resulting in beautiful displays of light in the sky Oxygen gives off green and red light Nitrogen glows blue and purple These green bands of light in the winter sky above Alaska are an aurora borealis This is the name for an aurora in the Northern Hemisphere Credit: Sarah Histand
