Is it possible to see air?

A:

Air is normally invisible. From space, the atmosphere, which is made of air, looks like a thin blue band because of the way the light passes through it. That’s the same reason why the sky looks blue. Down here, we can trace air with smoke or feel it with a fan. Check out the links for some activities on how to tell if air is really there.
