Red light, for instance,




      comprises a very long



      wavelength, which passes



      through the atmosphere




      quite aptly.








      Blue light, on the other hand,




      comprises a very short



      wavelength and, as it passes




      through the atmosphere,



      gas molecules absorb it




      in greater frequencies.
