如果世上沒(méi)有灰塵……

灰塵是一件讓人很討厭的東西。如果沒(méi)有灰塵,主婦們就不用再勞累地收拾房間了。然而灰塵的存在,并不單單是給人煩擾的。事實(shí)上,如果沒(méi)有灰塵,我們將失去很多美好的事物,比如美麗的日落…… 這又是為什么呢?下文將為您解答這個(gè)問(wèn)題。
Most of us who have ever cleaned a house would be much happier if there were less dust.
However, without dust there would be less rainfall and sunsets would be less beautiful.
Rain is formed when water molecules in the air collect around particles of dust. When the collected water becomes heavy enough the water droplet falls to the earth as rain. Thus water vapor could be much less likely to turn to rain without the dust particles.
The water vapor and dust particles also serve to reflect the rays of the sun. At sunrise and sunset, when the sun is below the horizon, the dust and water vapor molecules reflect the longer, red, wavelengths of light such that we can see them for more time (starting earlier in the case of sunrise and lasting longer in the case of sunset) than any of the other wavelengths. The more dust particles in the air the more colorful the sunrise or sunset.
