A
Why Are School Buses Yellow?
Does your school have school buses? Or perhaps you've seen school buses from other schools.
Have you ever noticed that most school buses are yellow? Why are they this color?
First, bright yellow gets our attention faster than any other color. Many school buses bring children to school in the early morning hours. At this time of day, it may still be a little dark. Yellow makes it easier for people to notice the school bus.
The second reason is about our ability to look out of the corner of our eyes. Even when we are looking straight ahead, we can see things to our left or right. This is called peripheral vision(周边视觉). Interestingly, our peripheral vision for detecting(检测) yellow is greater than it is for other colors. We are 1.24 times more likely(可能的) to notice something yellow, even when we're not looking straight at it.
1. Why is school bus yellow?
