Why is the sky blue? — slide 1: Why is the sky blue?. It's all about how sunlight bounces around.
Why is the sky blue? — slide 2: Sunlight is every colour mixed. White light is a blend of the whole rainbow.
Why is the sky blue? — slide 3: Air scatters blue light most. Tiny air particles bounce short blue waves around far more than red.
Why is the sky blue? — slide 4: So blue comes from everywhere. Scattered blue light reaches your eyes from all across the sky.
Why is the sky blue? — slide 5: Sunsets turn orange and red. Light travels through more air, so the blues scatter away first.

Why it works

  • Concepts, not clutter

    Each slide focuses on one idea with a relatable scene, mirroring how good teachers break topics down.

  • Age-appropriate tone

    Set the audience — 'year 6 pupils', 'GCSE students', 'adult learners' — and the language adapts.

  • Accurate by design

    Review and edit every word before illustration, so you stay in control of what's taught.

  • Print or post

    Download a PDF for the classroom or share slides on your school or tutoring channels.
