3:31Now PlayingWhat makes the sky orange and red sometimes? Actually, why is the sky blue? Can you guess how many sunsets and sunrises an astronaut on the International Space Station sees every 24 hours? Sixteen!
Imagine seeing all those spectacular colours so many times a day (even if the view lasts only a few seconds as they zoom by). Find out exactly why sunrise and sunset are red, orange and golden, never blue or green, as well as what makes the sky look blue and the sun look yellow.
Colourful Weather brings you fun and fascinating science behind five very colourful events we can see in the sky. Hosted by Nate Byrne, from ABC NEWS Breakfast, and meteorologists from the Bureau of Meteorology, this is weather presented for kids in a way they can understand and get excited about.
Colourful Weather is a collaboration of the ABC and the Bureau of Meteorology.
