While interesting weather events continue to occur from time to time in any part of the world, the last of these was viewed in the United States. Residents in the country’s South Dakota state suddenly encountered a green landscape when they looked at the sky.
During a major storm that hit the state, the sky literally turned green. This very rare sight was also shared on social media by the residents of the region. Although it may not sound convincing, no filters were used in any of the photos you will see below.
Green skies seen in the USA:
So what was the reason for this situation?
According to the shared information, the natural event in question was caused by the humidity in the air. Sun rays, which come from the Sun and are observed as blue under normal conditions due to their refraction in the atmosphere, fall on the Earth at a lower angle in the evening hours and turn into a reddish color associated with the sunset in our minds.
The water and ice particles in the clouds of the storm that took place just at this hour reflect the rays coming from the Sun in blue. However, when the red color formed in the atmosphere at that time and the blue light come together, the green color emerges. In order for the blue light to turn red to green to be so intense, there must be very large amounts of water in the clouds.
