Why do people say "blue sky and white clouds" when the weather is fine? "Blue sky and white clouds", why?

Look at the white clouds:

White clouds are made up of many tiny water droplets.

The size of these water droplets is much larger than the wavelength of light waves, so they will form reflections on the surface of water droplets. The size of these water droplets is much larger than the wavelength of light waves, so they will form reflections on the surface of water droplets.

Because the incident light will reflect in different directions, it looks white. Because the incident light will reflect in different directions, it looks white.

(All colors of visible light will be reflected-it will form a white feeling and see a colorful world) (All colors of visible light will be reflected-it will form a white feeling and see a colorful world)

The wavelength of visible light is about 0.3-0.7 micron (one micron = 10 -6 m = 10 -3 cm). The wavelength of visible light is about 0.3-0.7 micron (one micron = 10 -6 m = 10 -3 cm).

When water drops are too large, they will absorb light (absorbed after penetration), so they will form a dark color! When water drops are too large, they will absorb light (absorbed after penetration), so they will form a dark color!
