RE: Clouds on a Sublime Sunday

Hey sis! Do you know if there was some kind of special atmospheric condition that caused such a fiery red and orange sky? It looks intense. Very interesting! Thanks for sharing the beauty of your neck of the woods with us! Take care sis; hugs and kisses!🤗😘💕🌸

    The sky takes on these vivid hues due to a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering, sis! It explains the blue skies, and in this case, red skies as this happened during sunset.

    Due to Rayleigh scattering, most of the light of shorter wavelengths – the blue, violet, and green – are scattered away multiple times, leaving only lights of longer wavelength – the red, orange, and yellow – to pass straight through to the observer. This is why a rising and setting Sun tends to take on spectacular hues of red, orange, and yellow.
    You can look it up more if you're interested... or just enjoy it!!!

    Hugs and Kisses 🥰🌺🤙!!!
