Distant mountains look blue because there is inevitably more blue light between you and a remote object. This blue veil is called airlight, which is simply sunlight scattered by the air molecules between you and the view. "Skylight" is the term physicists reserve for sunlight scattered by clouds and molecules in the sky. Most of the light illuminating our world is re ected. We rarely look directly at the sun. Instead, we experience its rays secondhand--bounced oV buildings or the grass beneath our feet, scattered by all those invisible particles in the air.

Wow, I have to pick 2, too hard. The clear blue ocean is beautiful and amazing, I love being able to look down into the water and see all the life like looking through a window. The beautiful mountains, they just are majestic and breathtaking. Living in Wisconsin I have neither mountains nor oceans, but I've seen both many times, and they are amazing.

The Blue Ridge mountains look blue because of.... or due to the vapors given off by the gum trees that cover the mountains... they are so beautiful at a distance.
