    White light is composed of all the colors of the visible light spectrum. When white light passes through a prism, it is separated into the colors of the rainbow - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. An object appears a certain color because it absorbs all colors of light except the color it reflects, which is the color we see. For example, an apple absorbs all colors except green, so it appears green. The sky appears blue because blue wavelengths of sunlight are scattered more by the nitrogen molecules in air.
