Question

What color would the sky be when viewed from Mars?

Answer 1

Images taken of the martian sky show it to be a very pale pink. When dust storms are around, though, the sky is rust-red.

Answer 2

Because of the different atmospheric composition, it would be a different color then earths.  It looks more like a hazey brown color.  Probably partly due to a lot of dust blowing around.

Answer 3

blue

Answer 4

Most of these answers are totally wrong. The sky on Mars is a blend of colours, but more in the yellow-orange-brown range, almost no blue. The source is a compilation of absolutely wonderful pictures of the Martian atmosphere.

Answer 5

Pink

Answer 6

Answer 8

Answer 9

night-the horizon would be bluish greeen but it would be like gray above

Answer 10

look up from mars the sky would be black... there's an extremely thin atmopshere and no water.... essientially it would be almost the same as standing on the moon and looking up, you'd see black... not blue.

Answer 11

The only reason it's blue on earth is because the blue wavelength (of sunlight) is just the right size to bounce off the nitrogen and oxygen molecules in our atmosphere.

From Mars that wouldn't be happening, the sun wouldn't be shining through. So yvettesofia is right, if anything they would see clouds.
