why is the sky blue,,,really?????

Answer 1

reflection of the water

Answer 2

Visible light is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that our eyes can see. Light from the sun or a light bulb may look white, but it is actually a combination of many colors. We can see the different colors of the spectrum by splitting the light with a prism. The spectrum is also visible when you see a rainbow in the sky.
The colors blend continuously into one another. At one end of the spectrum are the reds and oranges. These gradually shade into yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. The colors have different wavelengths, frequencies, and energies. Violet has the shortest wavelength in the visible spectrum. That means it has the highest frequency and energy. Red has the longest wavelength, and lowest frequency and energy. 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. As you look closer to the horizon, the sky appears much paler in color. To reach you, the scattered blue light must pass through more air. Some of it gets scattered away again in other directions. Less blue light reaches your eyes. The color of the sky near the horizon appears paler or white.

Answer 3

The sky is actually ever color in a prism. THe light from the sun reflect off and through the atmosphere. Our eyes just so happen to pick up the blue more than the other colors therefor the sky appears mostly blue to us.

Answer 4

The light from the sun reflect off most blue colour so we see the sky as blue.:) ^-^

Answer 5

it really has to do with the way colors in the spectrum of light travel. they travel at different wavelengths. we only see blue because the wavelength of blue is short so the light is dispersed into the atmosphere more efficiently than other colors. the color blue interacts more with the gases in the atmosphere and it is reflected in many directions and we se it as blue when it reches our eyes. the color becomes different at sunset in the sense that the source of light is farther away from you, the longer wavelengths of the colors yellow or red become more visible as the wavelengths of the other colors are further disperesed leaving the long ones.

Answer 6

There is more blue light rays in space, hence the blue sky

Answer 7

The reflection of hydrogen molecules from the sun give off a blue hue that is why Venus is so bright blue, it has a higher hydrogen content in it's atmosphere, same with uranus which is almost pure hydrogen.

Answer 8

the sky is no really blue,the sky takes its colour from the sea.. the skies are just like the moon.they do not hav their own colour

Answer 9

I believe it is due to the sunlights refraction or defraction or something like that of the vapour in our atmosphere. Blue is at one of the ends of the colour spectrum and it is the only one refracted or something along those lines

Answer 10

It is due to our ozone sphere
the molecules of the ozen (three atoms of oxygen) has color blue
