Sky Red, Orange and Yellow

The sky is visibly bloody red today, because the tiny pollution particals scatter and spread out at Sun Rise and Sun Set making way for red, orange and yellow color to sky.

The Royal Society of Chemistry says reddish skies are common when fires are burning -- it's because smoke particles scatter sunlight in a way that we see red. Due to the size of smoke particles, they are better at scattering long wavelengths of red light.
