| Abstract | From ancient times, people have gazed up at the sky in daylight and asked the perennial question "Why is the sky blue?" [1]. Other similar and related questions are "Why is the night sky black?", "Why are sunrises and sunsets red?", and "Why are the clouds white?" . Rayleigh [2-5] and Mie scattering [6] lie behind the long sought answers to all such questions about the colors seen in the sky. |
