Q5
They say the sky is blue because blue is scattered more than red, fine. Then they say the sky is red at sunset because the blue is scattered 'away' and only red light can be seen. It doesn't make sense, where am I going wrong? using this logic, the blue light will always be scattered away and we should see only red.
