Cyclone Arnab turned Chhattisgarh’s sky blood red! But is it a warning sign or simply science?
The answer lies in how sunlight travels through our atmosphere.
Sunlight may look white, but it contains every colour. When the sun is low on the horizon, its light travels through a much longer stretch of atmosphere before reaching our eyes.
Tiny particles in the air scatter shorter wavelengths, such as blue and violet, more strongly. Red and orange light travel through more easily, making sunsets appear dramatically colourful.
During a cyclone, changing atmospheric conditions and increased moisture and airborne particles can influence how light scatters, creating striking red and orange skies.
This phenomenon is connected to Rayleigh scattering, the science that helps explain why sunsets often appear red.
So, a blood-red sky isn’t automatically a bad omen or a danger warning. It’s a fascinating reminder of how light and our atmosphere interact.
Sometimes, what looks mysterious in the sky has a scientific explanation.
