About This Product
Short wave blue light is scattered by air molecules more often than longer wave red and yellow light. During the day, sunlight passes nearly vertically through less atmosphere and appears blue; at sunset it passes horizontally through a thick layer and appears yellow. The egg shows the same effect on a small scale. The Sunset Egg is available for supply within India and for export to Togo, Uganda, Rwanda, Mauritius and Bahrain.
