SUMMARY

The color of the sky on other planets is determined by the chemical composition of their atmospheres, the type of nearby star, and the atmospheric conditions such as temperature and density. For instance, our atmosphere appears blue due to Rayleigh scattering, influenced by the sun's position and atmospheric particulates. In contrast, Venus has a vastly different atmospheric makeup, which would result in a distinct sky color. Factors like the presence of droplets, crystals, or dust also significantly affect the perceived color of the sky.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of atmospheric chemistry
  • Knowledge of Rayleigh scattering principles
  • Familiarity with planetary atmospheres and their compositions
  • Basic astronomy regarding star types and their effects on planets
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the atmospheric composition of Venus and its effects on sky color
  • Study Rayleigh scattering and its role in atmospheric optics
  • Explore the impact of different star types on planetary environments
  • Investigate how temperature variations influence atmospheric states
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, planetary scientists, educators in atmospheric science, and anyone interested in the visual characteristics of extraterrestrial environments.

I imagine it depends on the chemical makeup of their atmospheres.

And the 'color' of the star nearby and the distance to that star, and the depth and density of the planetary atmosphere, which would be functions of the composition and planetary mass (local gravity).

Our atmosphere appears blue, or yellow, or red, or white, or grey depending on time of day, angle of the sun, clouds or clear, dust (particulates) in the air. Our sun is a 'yellow' star, but it could have easily been a red star or blue star, and we would have a different environment, either too cold or too hot. The atmosphere on Venus would look very different.

Edit/update: I'd add temperature of the atmosphere, which be included in the state of the components as mentioned by sophiecentaur.

And the state of the components (e.g. are there droplets, crystals or dust ) in the atmosphere.
