Exploring the beauty of the Blue Sky

CREATED BY SHIRLEY BURGESS

Have you ever stopped to admire the beauty of the blue sky? Its vast expanse, ever-changing hues and the way sunlight dances through the clouds can leave us in awe. But have you ever wondered about the science behind this natural wonder?

The Science Behind our Beautiful Blue Sky

Blue sky above me, Endless sea of endless blue, Peaceful and serene

The first thing that comes to mind when we think of the blue sky is its colour. But did you know that the colour of the sky is not actually blue? The sky appears blue to us because of a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering.

This happens when sunlight hits the Earth's atmosphere. It gets scattered in all directions by the molecules in the air. The blue wavelengths of light are scattered more than the other colours, making the sky appear blue to our eyes.

But what makes up our atmosphere and how
does 
it contribute to the blue sky?

Our atmosphere is made up of different gases, including nitrogen, oxygen and trace amounts of other gases. These gases play a crucial role in creating the blue sky we see. Nitrogen and oxygen molecules are the most abundant in our atmosphere. They are responsible for scattering sunlight and creating the blue colour of the sky.

Another important factor in creating the blue sky is the Earth's rotation. As the Earth rotates on its axis, the angle at which sunlight hits the atmosphere changes. This affects the scattering of light and the colour of the sky. During sunrise and sunset, the angle of sunlight is lower. This causes the blue wavelengths to scatter less, giving the sky a reddish-orange hue.

But the blue sky is not just a beautiful
sight to behold!

It also plays a crucial role in our daily lives. The blue colour of the sky results from the Earth's atmosphere filtering out harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. These UV rays can cause damage to our skin and eyes, so the blue sky acts as a natural sunscreen.

The blue sky affects our mood and mental well-being. Studies have shown that the colour blue has a calming effect on our minds. It can help reduce stress and anxiety. So next time you feel overwhelmed, take a moment to look up at the blue sky and let its calming effects wash over you.

Now let's talk about the role of sunlight in creating the blue sky. Sunlight is made up of different colours, each with a different wavelength. As mentioned earlier, the blue wavelengths are scattered more than the others. This scattering gives the sky its blue colour. But what happens to the other colours? They get scattered in different directions. This scattering is why we see a variety of colours in the sky, such as red, orange and pink during sunrise and sunset.

But the blue sky is not always blue, is it?

Well, actually it still is, but there are clouds in the way! Have you ever noticed that on a cloudy day, the sky appears to be a dull grey? This is because the clouds are made up of water droplets and ice crystals which scatter all the colours of sunlight equally. This scattering makes the sky appear grey, or even white if it's about to snow.

The blue sky is a result of the complex interactions between our atmosphere, sunlight and the Earth's rotation. Its beauty and calming effects are a testament to the wonders of science.

Next time you look up at the blue sky, remember the fascinating science behind its creation.

Until next time ...

About me ...

I have had a long career in administration and office management. My working life started when I joined the Women's Royal Army Corps at age 17, where I trained as a Technical Clerk. Following my return to civilian life, worked as a data input clerk in the commercial sector, as an Administrator for Turning Point, a Not for profit organisation and lastly a Business Support Manager for Sport England a non-departmental government body.  

However, my last two roles were made redundant, and I had no backup plan. One thing I knew for sure was, that I no longer wanted to work in the corporate world, but was unable to find a suitable role locally. At this point I was introduced to this amazing company that I now work with. At this event there was a video playing and I heard the word 'pension', so I listened because I was concerned about my pension provision. I do have a pension that pays me a grand total of £45 per month! That evening I saw the opportunity to grow my pension and change my lifestyle, so happily got registered.

Being an introvert, I had some challenges to overcome,  so it took me a while to get going. But the training and the personal development I've had since then means that I have become more confident person and have met some amazing people along the way.

The future looks amazing because I have the opportunity to help others create the life they want and to continue to grow my business for me and my family  I am grateful to my friend for exposing me to this phenomenal company. 

I am a mother of two grown-up sons and a grandmother of three.  💗
