Description

In Episode 2, we tackle one of the most beloved questions curious kids ask: 天空为什么是蓝色的?Why is the sky blue?

第二集,我们要一起探讨好奇的孩子们最喜欢问的问题之一:天空为什么是蓝色的?

Together, we discover that sunlight is hiding all the colors of the rainbow, what happens when light crashes into the tiny particles in our atmosphere, and why sunsets turn everything red and orange.
