SciShow Explains Why the Sky Is Blue

SciShow (previously) host Caitlin Hofmeister explains the common question,”Why is the sky blue?” in a recent episode of the World’s Most Asked Questions series. The video explains how light from the Sun is refracted through the atmosphere in a process known as Rayleigh scattering, and also how the fact that we are humans impacts how we perceive the sky’s color.
