what makes the sky....?

Question

what makes the sky appear blue? the water?

Answer 1

The ocean often looks blue because sunlight shines on tiny particles suspended in the water. Along the shores of some areas, however, the water looks green because the blue water is mixed with yellow pigments present in floating plants.

Some oceans exhibit other colors:


The Black Sea looks black because it has little oxygen and a high concentration of hydrogen sulfide.


The Red Sea looks red because it contains seasonal blooms of algae that color the surface water red.


The Yellow Sea looks yellow because it contains a yellow mud carried into it by adjoining rivers.

Answer 2

WHY IS THE SKY BLUE?

The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.

However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.

Answer 3

The sky appears blue to us on a clear day, because the atoms of nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere separate the suns white light into its many colors, and scatter them throughout the atmosphere.

The wavelength of the blue light scatters better than the rest, predominates over the other colors in the light spectrum, and makes the sky appear blue to us.

The scientific name for this phenomenon is the Tyndall effect, more commonly known as Rayleigh scattering.

Answer 4

Our sky is colored because our atmosphere makes blue light when sunlight passes through it. This phenomenon is called "scattering." It is similar to when sunbeams reveal themselves in the presence of dust. The atmosphere causes the sky to be colored. When transmitted light such as sunlight enters our atmosphere it collides with the oxygen and nitrogen atoms. The color with the shorter wavelength is scattered more by this collision. Because violet and blue are the shortest wavelengths the sky appears to be violet / blue. But because our eyes are more sensitive to blue light than they are violet light, we perceive the sky as blue.

Answer 5

blue colour is formed by the H20 & ferric acid together with N2H7.So as the sky is blue its reflects on water.
