Good Afternoon, All,
I know that, from a planet's surface, the color of the sky can look different than that of another world orbitting the same star. After all, Mars has a pinkish sky, while Earth's sky is blue.
I believe that the color of the sky is a combination of numerous factors, though probably most influenced by the chemical composition of the atmospher and the color of the star that is providing light to the world in question. I may be wrong here, but if I'm not, that leads me to my question below.
For Atmosphere Code 6, an atmosphere with a standard pressure and composition, which can support life without the need for a filter mask, will the sky always appear as blue? Even if it's shades of blue, will it always be blue?
Under what conditions would it not be blue? If it isn't blue, what kind of colors could we see in the daytime sky of a world with a standard Nitrogen-Oxygen atmosphere that humans can breathe unaided?
Hoping someone can satisfy my curiosity,
Flynn
