Vedclass · Answer

(D) At noon,the sun is overhead,and the light from the sun travels a relatively shorter distance through the Earth's atmosphere to reach the observer.Because the distance is short,only a small amount of blue and violet light is scattered.As a result,all the colours of the white light reach the observer's eye in almost equal proportions,making the sun appear white.
