It s about 8 minutes old. Sunlight takes roughly 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel from the Sun to Earth.
Daylight is a rainbow in disguise. A prism or raindrops can split sunlight into its spectrum of colors.
You can see the Sun before it actually rises. Earth s atmosphere bends light, making the Sun appear above the horizon while it s still slightly below it.
Blue skies come from scattered sunlight. Air molecules scatter blue light more strongly than red light, spreading it across the sky.
Some places get daylight for months. Near the poles, the Sun can stay above the horizon for weeks or months during summer the midnight sun.
