Many of the celestial beings are shown in blue since if you see the sky above or the ocean below; they are all blue! Which means that they are so vast!
Then again you have the red or orange sky which is a treat for the artists!
The whole phenomenon is because of a thing called the Rayleigh Scattering!
As sunlight travels longer path during sunrise and sunset, molecules in the atmosphere scatter shorter-wavelength light (blue, violet) in all directions, removing it from our direct line of sight!
At sunrise and sunset, the Sun is low in the sky, forcing light to travel through more atmosphere (dust, water vapor, and gas particles) compared to when it is directly overhead!
Now when the blue and violet gets scattered only the YOR remains of the VIBGYOR!
In fact you get to see the sky as blue since violet gets scattered more in spite of being of the shorter wavelength!
So longer-wavelength light (red, orange, yellow) is scattered much less and passes through the atmosphere more easily, giving the sky its warm, vibrant color.
A higher concentration of dust, pollutants, or water droplets in the air can further enhance the scattering of blue light, making the red colors appear more vivid!
Now if you are sad whey do they say DO NOT BE BLUE is for another blog! By the way if you are blue then you can read about George Bernard Shaw! His interaction with Churchill resulted in a joke which cracked me up much in my school days! Unfortunately only I was laughing since no one else got the joke!
The joke was
Alfred Hitchcock (referring to Shaw’s thin physique): “One look at you, Mr. Shaw, and I know there’s a famine in the land.”
George Bernard Shaw (looking at the overweight director): “One look at you, Mr. Hitchcock, and I know who caused it.”!
There was another famous interaction between G B Shaw and Churchill this time!
The famous, exchange between George Bernard Shaw and Winston Churchill involves a theater ticket invitation.
Shaw reportedly wired: “Have reserved two tickets for my first night. Come and bring a friend, if you have one”.
Churchill famously retorted: “Impossible to come to first night. Will come to second night, if you have one”!
So if you are in the BLUE read the jokes! And if you did not understand them then laugh at me instead!
The aim is to make you smile!
SHubh ratri!
