A rare blue sky in Zhengzhou. How do meteorologists explain this scene?

The rare green sky in Zhengzhou surprised everyone and made them curious. Later, meteorologist Xu Jianguo explained this scene. The green sky appears because of the reflection, scattering and refraction of green light by cloud droplets, because sunlight just passed through the clouds at that time, and other colors of light were reflected and absorbed, leaving green light to pass through the clouds through the reflection, scattering and refraction of cloud droplets, making the cloud bottom appear green.

Today, Zhengzhou was hit by heavy rain, and dark clouds gathered day and night. This kind of scene is common in the prelude of heavy rain, but then a rare green sky appeared near Zhongzhou Avenue in the South Third Ring Road of Zhengzhou City. The sky is full of green clouds, and the green clouds flutter with the strong wind, which is pleasing to the eye. Many netizens said that they have never seen such a scene in a hundred years. In the past, they saw black, white, yellow, red and blue clouds at most, and green clouds were the first.

Everyone is curious about the green clouds in the sky and wants to know why the sky turns green. When citizens, friends and netizens remembered it, they went to the relevant staff of Zhengzhou Meteorological Bureau, but the relevant staff of Zhengzhou Meteorological Bureau told reporters that they were only responsible for the weather forecast, and the sky was not under their jurisdiction. Later, Xu Jianguo, the chief expert of the Meteorological Bureau, knew why there was a blue sky phenomenon. It turns out that the size of cloud droplets is just conducive to the reflection, scattering and refraction of green light, similar to the principle that sea water is blue.

The conditions for the emergence of green sky have high requirements for the environment and climate. There must be a lot of water in the cloud, as well as the conditional emission of strong convective weather clouds and other factors. It can be said that you must be in the right place at the right time, otherwise it is difficult to encounter such a rare sight. When there is a blue sky, there will usually be heavy rain, strong convective weather and even heavy rain, accompanied by hail, lightning and heavy rain. The climate has changed suddenly in recent years. Abnormal weather is closely related to human beings. People's pollution of nature is also the main influence of climate change, so we should start from ourselves and maintain our living environment.
