HOW UNUSUAL IS THE MARS' SKY ?


 THE SKY IS RED ON MARS

Astronomer Mark Lemmon explains that

  • The thick Martian dust blocks the light of all colors almost equally. 
  • Since the dust is colored by iron oxides (rust), it absorbs the blue light and scatters the red light.
  • Henceforth gives the sky a rusty color

while the scattering of light in the atmosphere creates a blue halo around the sun which makes the sunset blue.
Yeah! THE SUNSETS ARE BLUE OUT THERE.
