What are the colors of the eight planets and how did they form?

The eight planets in the solar system are all colored. The earth we are familiar with is sky blue, while Mars is red. What are the colors of other planets? How are their colors formed? Then let's use constellation knowledge to reveal the answer!

What are the colors of the eight planets?

Mercury-golden yellow

Venus-golden yellow

Earth blue

Mars red

Jupiter is khaki.

Saturn-dark yellow

Uranus-sky blue

Neptune-dark blue

How are the colors of the eight planets formed?

The sky that people see with the naked eye is sky blue, because sunlight is scattered by gas molecules, so that more blue-band visible light is reflected to people's eyes, that is, visible light can make people's visual system form visual band light. If there is no atmosphere, people can see the sun directly with the naked eye, and there is no light reflected into people's eyes in the space in vacuum, so people can only see darkness.

Of the eight planets in the solar system, only Mercury has no atmosphere. In fact, it is not appropriate to say that there is no atmosphere. Mercury also has a thin escape layer, but the light scattering is very weak, and people still see darkness.

Venus has a dense atmosphere, and its surface atmosphere is 90 times that of the earth. The dense atmosphere and concentrated sulfuric acid clouds cover and absorb a lot of sunlight, while Venus has a high carbon dioxide content and has a strong reflection on the red band, so the sky can be red and yellow under the influence of sulfuric acid clouds, and the sum of them is orange.

The atmosphere of Mars also hates thinness, but it is better for Mars to keep them than for Mercury. Similar to the earth's atmosphere, the Martian sky can also appear light blue. However, due to the small gravity of Mars, Martian dust contains more iron oxide, which is reddish brown. A little dust flying into the sky will also make the color of the Martian sky change slightly, which can be orange or even red.

As we all know, the sky of the earth is blue when the weather is good and gray when it is cloudy. Occasionally, when clouds reflect more light, they can also show brilliant gold and dazzling red, which is also related to the moisture content in the atmosphere, so the color of the earth's atmosphere is the most gorgeous in planets of the solar system. The four stars of Neptune Pluto, because they are gaseous planets, have no solid surface and the outermost gas is very thin. If this is the boundary, the sky seen on their surface will also be black.
