Ever wonder why the sky looks like a giant blue blanket? It all starts with the bright SUNLIGHT shinin' down on us, which is actually a secret mix of every rainbow color hidin' together! But before that light reaches the ground, it has to zoom through the THIN AIR, which is filled with gazillions of tiny, invisible bits floatin' around. Most colors slide right past, but the bouncy BLUE LIGHT is like a little bumper car—it hits those air bits and SCATTERS in every direction, fillin' up the whole sky! Meanwhile, the long, lazy RED LIGHT doesn't get bumped at all; it just travels straight through like it's on a highway. So, when you look up, YOUR EYE catches all that scattered blue light rainin' down from every corner of the sky! Tiny Concepts.
