why is the sky blue?

Question

and the grass green the dirt brown and the sun is yellow...

Answer 1

In high school physics, I learned that the sky is blue because all colors in the light spectrum (red orange yellow green indigo violet) are absorbed except blue...which is reflected. I suppose if that's right, then it also explains green grass (only blue and yellow reflected) etc.

Welcome to science 101.....today we will be discussing why the sky is blue, and the grass is green, and the sun is yellow.

We'll tackle the sky color first. The Sky is blue, because light enters our atmosphere and refracts through water droplets, giving off all the colors of the spectrum. Blue has the shortest visible light wavelength, and so we see the sky as blue.

Grass is green because instead of having blood to carry nutrients, it has tubular constructs that carry water and nutrients. One of the nutrients is chlorophyl, which interacts with water and takes on a green color.

The sun is yellow, because that is the color of light spectrum that we see as it is refracted through the droplets of water in our atmosphere.

Answer 3

Blue is a pleasing color, God chose blue so we would be pleased. The dirt brown because it is no that pleasant a color and the dirt is a reminder that GP was no pleased God he original Gardner, Adam. i am not sure the sun is yellow. The earth was custom made for humans by someone who loved us.

Answer 4

sky is blue from reflection of the ocean....grass is green from the chloriform in it....dirt is brown from all the billions of shitts weve taken...sun is yellow because its a collection of intergallactic pisss

Answer 5

Because the Water is blue, and reflects the water into the Sky

Answer 6

My drill Sgt use to say, "Why is the sky Blue?"
and we had to say "Because God loves the infantry!"

What makes the green grass grow?
Blood blood bright red blood!

I was a medic though, so i on;y had to say those things in basic.

Answer 7

I think it is because the earth is made up mostly of water and so it is a reflection from that.

Answer 8

IF THEY WERE NOT THOSE COLORS, YOU MIGHT GET CONFUSED AND HAVE TO STAND ON YOUR HEAD, CAN YOU IMAGINE THE SKY BEING GREEN, WHICH WAY IS UP??? IF THE SUN WAS WHITE??? IS IT NIGHT OR DAY??? I AM ALREADY GETTING CONFUSED! THANKS A LOT! YOU RUINED MY WHOLE DAM DAY! THE WATER IS GREEN, DO I MOW IT? WHAT TO DO!? WHAT TO DO?!

Answer 9

the refractive index of all the collective components in the atmosphere

Answer 10

ACTUALLY MY FRIEND, THE SKY ISN'T BLUE, IT APPEARS TO BE BLUE BECAUSE OF THE OZONE LAYER PRESENT IN ABOVE THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE. (SINCE, OZONE IS BLUE IN COLOR)
