Because the sea reflects the colour of the sky

God just wanted the two things that meet at the center of the earth to be the same color. Scientificly speaking its the sun and the moons reflection on the sea mirrors it back and fourth. The ground is blue, the sky is blue, the whole world is happy!

Because the sea acts like a mirror, it reflects the blue off the sky....:)

The sky is blue partly because air scatters short-wavelength light in preference to longer wavelengths. Where the sunlight is nearly tangent to the Earth's surface, the light's path through the atmosphere is so long that much of the blue and even yellow light is scattered out, leaving the sun rays and the clouds it illuminates red, at sunrise and sunset.
Scattering and absorption are major causes of the attenuation of radiation by the atmosphere. Scattering varies as a function of the ratio of the particle diameter to the wavelength of the radiation. When this ratio is less than about one-tenth, Rayleigh scattering occurs in which the scattering coefficient varies inversely as the fourth power of the wavelength. At larger values of the ratio of particle diameter to wavelength, the scattering varies in a complex fashion described, for spherical particles, by the Mie theory; at a ratio of the order of 10, the laws of geometric optics begin to apply.
Individual gas molecules are too small to scatter light effectively. However, in a gas, the molecules move more or less independently of each-other, unlike in liquids and solids where the density is determined the molecule's sizes. So the densities of gases, such as pure air, are subject to statistical fluctuations. Significant fluctuations are much more common on a small scale. It is mainly these density fluctuations on a small (tens of nanometers) scale that cause the sky to be blue.

It's because the sky reflects the colour of the sea

it has to do with the elements that the air is made up of, that is why it is blue. and as far as the ocean being blue, i have no idea, but I am guessing that it has to do with how the light reflects the sky and other things around it. if you fill the bath though, why does the water turn a bluish greenish color, in a white tub? especially if you are indoors and there is no sky to reflect from... hmmm

The sea reflects the blue sky, unless the water is dirty, which eliminates the reflection.

Sea is made of water, and as we all know water is transparent, but you can see reflections on water, the sea is blue because of the reflection of the sky.

The sea is the nice mirror of the sky.

the sky is not blue it is clear, it is the reflection of the sea, bouncing of the the sun's light rays and water particles in the air that make it look blue....
