MCQ

Blue colour of sky is due to:

  • A
    Scattering.
  • B
    Absorption.
  • C
    Reflection.
  • D
    Refraction.

Answer

  1. Scattering.

    Explanation:

    Blue light is scattered the most. Hence, as sunlight travels the earth, most of the blue colour is scattered and hence spread. This causes the sky to appear blue in the day.
