why is grass green?

Answer 1

Chloroplasts - they contain cholorophyl for photosynthesysing. (whuch is green). Each leaf (palisade) cell contains many chloroplasts, each absorbing sunlight and combining it with water and C20 in the word formula

C20 + Water (+energy) = glucose [a complex sugar] + Oxygen

Answer 2

For that matter, why is anything any color at all? In the last Science Theatre column on why snow is white, we said that the light we see things with from the sun, from our light bulbs is called white light and can be broken down into the colors in the rainbow in order of their wavelengths.

The snow is white because all the colors are reflected and refracted equally without any color range dominating.

This is not so when white light hits objects which we don’t see as white or gray.

Most objects tend to reflect only some of the light falling on them. The light contains all of the colors, but the objects reflects selected colors and absorbs the rest.

This is called "subtractive color mixing" because some of the colors are subtracted out of the light.

Grass appears green because all of the colors in the rainbow are absorbed into the leaves of the grass except green.

Answer 4

the opposite of green grass

Answer 5

It is green because when sunlight (photons) strikes a plant (or any object) that we see as green, all other colors of the spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet) are absorbed except green, which is reflected back to our eye. That's the reason we see any color. Black objects absorb all color, and white objects reflect all color.

Answer 6

Chlorophyll - the green pigment found in most plants that causes them to be that color.

Answer 7

only if viewed in daylight-it reflects green light and absorbes other colours(wavelengths)

Answer 8

The same reason that water is blue. Because when God created this earth he made it that way.
