BLUE


As William Henry Davis said in the poem Leisure, No time to see, in broad daylight,……………we have no time to stand and stare. It was a bright sunny day with a few clouds. But I stared the sky and thought should write on its blue colour

This is due to the scattering of light. As you know the sunlight is white in colour and which is a mixture of colours as in a rainbow. When it enters our atmosphere the blue portion of the colour in the white light get scattered in the atmosphere, which gives the blue colour to the sky in daytime. .
