    The colour of sky
    Browse volume:201 | Reply:0 | Release time:2010-03-21 00:38:39

    If we look at the sky on a perfectly fine summer‘s day we shall find that the blue colour is the most pure and intense overheadand when looking high up in a direction opposite to the sun. Near the horizon it is always less brightWomen Timberland Shoes while in the region immediately around the sun it is more or less yellow. The reason of this is that near the horizon we look through a very great thickness of the lower atmospherewhich is full of the larger dust particles reflecting white lightand this diluter the pure blue of the higher atmosphere seen beyondAnd in the vicinity of the sun a good deal of the blue light is reflected back into space by the finer dustthus giving a yellowish tinge to that which reaches us reflected chiefly from the coarse dust of the lower atmosphere. Bape Sta Shoes,At sunset and sunrisehoweverthis last effect is greatly intensifiedowing to the great thickness of the strata of air through which the light reaches us. The enormous amount of this dust is well shown by the fact that then only we can look full at the suneven when the whole sky is free from clouds and there is no apparent mist.

    But the sun’s rays then reach us after having passed
    firstthrough an enormous thickness of the higher strata of the airthe minute dust of which reflects most of the higher strata of the airPrada Shoes the minute dust of which reflects most of the blue rays away from usleaving the complementary yellow light to pass onThenthe somewhat coarser dust reflects the green raysleaving a more orange-coloured light to pass onand finally some of the yellow is reflectedleaving almost pure red. But owing to the constant presence of air currentsarranging both the dust and vapour in strata of varying extent and densityWomen Prada Shoesand of high or low clouds which both absorb and reflect the light in varying degreeswe see produced all those wondrous combinations of tints and those gorgeous ever-changing colours which are a constant source of admiration and delight to all who have the advantage of an uninterrupted view to the west and who are accustomed to watch for those not infrequent exhibitions of nature‘s kaleidoscopic colour painting. With every change in the altitude of the sun the display changes its character;MBT Shoes and most of all when it has sunk below the horizonand owing to the more favourable angles a larger quantity of the coloured light is reflected toward usEspecially when there is a certain amount of cloud is this the case. These so long as the sun was above the horizonintercepted much of the light and colourbut when the great luminary has passed away from our direct visionhis light shines more directly on the under sides of all the clouds and air strata of different densitiesJordan Shoes a new and more brilliant light flushes the western skyand a display of gorgeous ever-changing tints occurs which are at once the delight of the beholder and the despair of the artist. And all this unsurpassable glory we owe to——dust
