Blue Sky
We tried to do addition of the colors
of light in the previous stage.
Well, what will happen if subtraction is done?

A.Fill the bottle with water and add a
little milk.

B.Put on the cap and shake the bottle until
the liguids are mixed.

It seems to be an orange color when it
is seen from the mouth.
It seems just a little bluish when it is
seen from the side.
Light is equal to dust and the little
molecular particles of the air, and the phenomenon
in which that proceeding direction is changed is
said to be the dispersion of the light.
Then, it has the nature that it is often
scattered mostly as blue light.Therefore it
seems that the sky is blue in the daytime
when it is fine. 
On the other hand, when the direction of
the sun is seen in the evening, it seems
that the sky is reddish by the sunset glow.
Because the light proceeds obliquely
through the class of air whose light in this
case is thin, it passes a very long distance,
and is scattered here and there, and the
light which remains is red because that
is how light looks to our eyes when it is
lacking blue or purple light.
In other words,
white-blue, purple = orange color.
