What will be the colour of sky as seen from the earth, if there were no atmosphere
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Black
Option A (Black) is correct because the sky appears blue due to scattering of light by the atmosphere. Without an atmosphere, there would be no scattering, and the sky would appear black.
