In the lower layer of the atmosphere, there is great deal of dust. When the weather is fine, it is possible to see the magnificent red colour of the setting sun. What have these observation to do with colloids ?

Answer» Dust in the atmosphere is often colloidal. When the sun is low down on the horizon, light from it has to pass through a great deal of dust to reach your eyes. The blue part of the light is scattered away from your eyes. You see the red part of the spectrum, which remains. Red sunsets are the Tyndall effect on a large scale.
