why the sky is blue in color?

Answer 1

It's because of refracting light and long wave lenth light waves converging.

Answer 2

"The light from the sun reflects off of the oceans, since there is more body of water than there is of land, the blue takes over any other colors that mix in. That's why it could be dark blue, or light blue or even almost white sometimes." This is wrong
blue light has a higher frequency then all the other forms of light, this allows it to bounce off particles in the sky easier. when light has to go through more air becasue it is coming in at the side (like with a sunset or sunrise) the other wavelengths of light get a chance to bounce off the particles too because there are so many particles because there is more air

Answer 3

The sky is blue in color because of following causes;
1. Earth has large amount of water with blue in color.
2. The blue color have high scattering capacity.
3. Due to present of dust particles in the atmosphere of Earth.
4. Due to present of ozone layer.
5. Because human eye can see blue color.
I think these are some causes which can support the answer.

Answer 4

Molecules of nitrogen and hydrogen, which account for more than 98% of the gases that make up the air, are just the right size to scatter light. The light from the sun is "white", i.e. it has all of the colours. But the blue colour "bounces" off molecules of air, going in all directions. No matter what direction you look in during the day, blue light is coming toward you from the sky, unless clouds hide the sky.

Answer 5

White light consists of seven colors. The sky can absorb all the colors except blue. Thus we see the sky as blue.

Answer 6

The light from the sun reflects off of the oceans, since there is more body of water than there is of land, the blue takes over any other colors that mix in. That's why it could be dark blue, or light blue or even almost white sometimes.

Answer 7

The simplest answer is Rayleigh scattering.

This scattering of light from molecules in the atmosphere is more efficient for blue light. As light from the sun with all wavelengths of light pass through our atmosphere, the light hits the molecules of O2, N2, CO2, etc in our atmosphere and the blue light scatters and bounces down to us. Meanwhile, the red/violet/green light passes right through our atmosphere. Either down to the surface or glancing out of our atmosphere. The overall effect is that when we look up, we see more blue light than the other wavelengths and that dominates making the sky blue.

Answer 8

Shorter blue wavelength light scatters more than longer red wavelength light. It scatters so much that it appears to be coming from every direction. At sunset so much of it has scattered back out into space that the dominant color is red because red does not scatter as much and it makes the whole trip through the atmosphere to your eyes

Answer 9

well if you look at it scientifically then well it has got something to do with the sun reflecting light from the ssea or something like that but if you look at it in a religious kind of way then God just thought that blue looked pretty for the sky!!!!

Answer 10

look at a prism and notice how the sun refracts light. that is why the sky is blue. changes in colour are from moisture or pollutants

Answer 11

Because the atmosphere breaks the white sunlight so that only the blue light remains.
