@Gevian@freeman Mars has an incredibly thin atmosphere but its enough for the same Rayleigh effect producing blue skies.
However Mars dust (iron oxide) absorbs blue wavelengths, so if dust is in the atmosphere it turns a muddy brown red. Which is why so many photos are this colour.
It’s believed from a human perspective we would see it as blue. The light levels are much weaker than earth and human sight shifts to blue in low light
Why is sky blue on Mars?
