Answer: Dust particles and gases reflect light in all directions, which is called scattering. The short wavelengths of blue and violet light are the wavelengths that are reflected or scattered. For this reason, scattered light looks bluer than other sunlight, which is why the sky looks blue during the day.

hope you find this helpful :)

Answer:

As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air. However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules.

The history of Taurus
poizon [28]

Answer:

<em>The zodiacal sign of Taurus does not coincide with the constellation of Taurus. It is a continuation of the sign of Aries and represents the second 30 degrees of the zodiacal circle. The sign of Aries represents the beginning of spring and with it the beginning of life, while Taurus is a fixed sign that continues what Aries has started. Life is in full bloom in the sign of Taurus. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>The stars in Taurus constellation host two open clusters, the Pleiades and the Hyades and are mostly located at the end of the sign of Taurus and the beginning of the zodiacal sign of Gemini. In the Early Bronze Age it marked the location of the Sun during the spring equinox, just like the constellation of Aries represented the equinox over 2000 years ago. The constellation of Taurus was linked to it 5000 to 1700 BC, before the precession of the equinox moved our perspective to the sign of Aries.</em>

Leni [432]
The rods originally contain the fuel for nuclear reactions, which mean they are highly radioactive. The radiation they emit is very dangerous and harmful to all types of life; therefore, they must be handled with care and disposed of properly to minimize damage because of them.
