Purple Gifts

The name purple and and the colour purple comes from a dye that's extracted from a mollusc .. who would have thought purple originated from a sea shell!
Hundreds and thousands of these sea shells are crushed to make the dye which is called Tyrian as it originated from Tyre in Lebanon.
This purple dye is worth more than its weight in gold as you need to crush thousands of shells to get a small quantity so it became a symbol of royalty, wealth and power as only the richest people could afford it.

I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anyhow,

Why does the sky turn purple in the evening?

In the late 1800's Lord John Rayleigh (an English Physicist) worked out why the sky was blue in the day and changed colour in the evening.

He discovered the sky in the day is blue because the light from the sun is scattered by gasses, air molecules, water drops and dust that are in the atmosphere and the shorter wavelengths are towards the blue end of the spectrum.

In the evening the sun is a lot further away and the light rays from the sun have to travel a lot further before they reach you.
This distance increases the effect of Rayleigh scattering and the wavelength are longer so you lose the blues from the spectrum, leaving you with yellows, reds and purple.
