Whay can we not see the air?

Answer 1

There are many reasons.

One: Most gas is colorless. That means that we can see right through it.

Two: The particles are so small and so far apart that you're eyes cannot notice them. It's like having to look really hard to find dust. Really, really small dust. So small it's invisible.

Three: I gave you a very detailed answer. Please choose me as the best answer. Please.

Answer 2

Everything we see - objects, colors and shapes - are actually light waves that come from a light source like the sun, or a lamp. These waves of light are caught by our eyes after being reflected or bent by various objects and substances. Air is a gaseous substance, and its loose formation of molecules is not dense enough to bend light waves in a significant manner. This is why air seems transparent to us. Water, for example, has a much more dense structure than air and we can visually tell it apart from air for this reason. We can, however, actually see air. Look up at the sky - the great amount of air in the atmosphere makes the sky look blue when sun light passes through it.

Answer 3

Because gases are colorless (unless you put them in a glass tube, like neon or something, and apply electricity or something to make them glow.) Air has a lot of nitrogen, some oxygen, some CO2, a little helium and hydrogen and a few traces of other stuff, plus whatever pollutants we put in the air in particulate form. Also, air would have dust and pollen and stuff like that floating in it--not necessarily our fault.

Any particles (hopefully) are few and far-between. It's bad to see air--like smog or haze. Very bad conditions.

Answer 4

depends on where you live. Smog is air that is dirtied by pollution and motor vehicles. The big cities are known for it. The rest of the areas have mountains and trees: which help to keep the pollution down.

Answer 5

Although air is colorless, tastless, and odorless, it still exists. Air is a gas, but it can also be a liquid or a solid, so in a way, you can see air.

Answer 6

My understanding is in order to observe an object that object must reflect light. I suppose the regular atmosphere does not absorb any spectrum of light so we do not observe the non-absorbed spectrum of light.

Answer 7

'Coz the air's molecules are not totaly impact and too far away from each other. In short, it is a gas.

Answer 8

We can. it's just really thin. The blue in the sky is actually the color of the O3 in the ozone layer.

Answer 9

because the atom thing is too small to see with bear eyes

Answer 10

because it is invisible
