        Light particles are responsible for the colors we see every day. They are responsible for the different colors of the sky. Light particles have different wavelengths that determine different colors. In our web page we will discuss how the different wavelengths and light particles result in different colors of the sky.
Sunsets, rainbows and blue skies are all examples of how wavelengths and light particles change the sky.
