Why the Sky Is Blue During the Day and Black at Night
Sunlight is white. Air is, as far as anyone can tell by looking through a window, colorless. And yet every clear afternoon the same 400,000-kilometer column of gas above your head reads as a specific, saturated blue, then goes black within an hour of sunset.
