what color is the sky?

Answer 1

clear we see it blue becausee of the reflection

Answer 2

There is no question but that the color of the sky is blue on a clear day and black at night.

This is not to say that the air has any color. This only describes the color the eye perceives at any given moment.

I have seen truely purple skies and orange and indigo. I have seen it blood red, Manilla yellow and steely grey.

Answer 3

Blue or Sky Blue,on Rainy Day Gray and kinda mixture of Black,On the Dawn Red Violet or Yellow Orange.

Answer 4

The secret is the size of air molecules. They are the perfect size for scattering blue light out of the incoming sunlight.

The sun appears yellow because the other colors of the incoming sunlight usually pass through the air uninhibited.

If you were to look at the sun in outer space, it would appear white because its light contains all of the other colors.

But, except for light from the sun, stars and bodies that reflect light such as planets and moons, space itself looks black. This is because it doesn't contain enough particles to scatter light back to your eyes.

In the Earth's atmosphere, various kinds of particles in the atmosphere such as dust and cloud droplets can team up to create beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.

This is the Tyndall effect, but it is more commonly known to physicists as Rayleigh scattering. This is mesurement showing the amount of light scattered is inversely proportional to the fourth power of wavelength for sufficiently small particles. It follows that blue light is scattered more than red light by a factor of (700/400)4 ~= 10. So we see the sky as blue.

Answer 5

The sky has no color, it's clear. (like nighttime)

The reflections of the sun in our atmosphere create the illusion of a colorful sky.

Answer 6

Your mind creates the world around you. Technically, you ca believe the sky is majenta, and it would appear majenta if you retrained your brain to think that way. but science has proved that most percieve it to be blue, because of reflected light.

Answer 7

it is a saturation of colors that form together and show black but with the suns rays becomes white in the day

Answer 8

clear, we only see colors due to reflections and gases

Answer 9

Black. Our earth's atmosphere makes it appear blue.

Answer 10

we see it blue only cuz of the reflect of the water made by the sun......otherwise i guess it would be colorless
