Why do mountains look blue from far away when they are made of green trees ?
In: Planetary Science
Atmospheric scattering.
The air scatters blue light more than red light. For things that are far enough away, you can see that color.
Just like how glass looks colorless, but if you get a large block of glass you can see that it has color (e.g. the glass most mirrors are made out of is slightly green.)
