JAKARTA – Colorful heaven when it rises and sets it is very beautiful to the eye. However, behind its beauty, it turns out that there is a phenomenon that must be watched out for.
It is known that the colors in the sky are also known as scattering phenomena. Reporting from news.wisc.edu, professor of meteorology at UW-Madison, Steven Ackerman said, the color of sunsets is produced by a phenomenon called scattering.
At dusk, molecules and small particles in the atmosphere change the direction of the light rays, causing them to scatter.
The scattering that affects the color of light is determined by the wavelength of the light and the size of the particles.
Air molecules in large numbers will produce blue and purple colors.
This is the reason why we always see blue and purple from all directions, because we can’t see violet very well.
Meteorologist Lauren Rautenkranz also said, the short length of the waves that spread in all directions bounce from particle to particle until it finally reaches your eye.
However, the sky does not appear purple and blue due to the limitations of our eyes.
The purple sky phenomenon proved to be a harbinger of a terrible storm.
The pink-purple sky hides a major catastrophe, namely Typhoon Hagibis which is estimated to have a speed of up to 160 km per hour at its center.
Although enchanting, this colorful blanket was followed by a catastrophic natural disaster that could kill many people.
The presence of a large storm, followed by heavy rain, can wash away larger particles with better light absorption capacity.
Therefore, if you find a purple sky phenomenon, you must be vigilant.
