Is the sky blue?

Answer 1

Hi Sailcat64,
The sky is blue, because it wouldn't make sense to be any other color.. when it cries so many raindrops, it must be blue...
>>>>
At dusk, the sky turns red.. because it is angry at the sun for taking away the only light it has in it's life....
>>>>
At night, when the sky is sleeping, we can really see that it is blue and black, because of all the abuse it has had to endure watching over our planet.....
>>>>
The sky is blue.. because, it has to look down and see the hash that humanity is making of the world..... :s
>>>>
And when the sun rises once again, it holds it's head up high, but we all know the sky will always be blue, and will never stop weeping...
>>>>
Blue, is : the wavelength that is reflected back.. due to the composition of our atmosphere....
>>>>>
Thanks, for the question!:)

My regards!

Take care!

Of course it's blue in the day time no matter what scientist tell you. It appears blue to you so what the hell color do you think it is? It's BLUE!

To say that the sky is not blue is like the idiotic, nit-picky geometry turds who insist that you should call the line you just drew on a piece of paper a line segment because lines have infinite length.

Christ sakes folks. You're not in science class most of the time nor are you writing articles for science publications. Colloquially, the sky is blue. Get used to it.

Answer 3

Well, it looks blue. Maybe your eyes are designed to see blue when you look at the sky. Like when you look at the sky for a long time, and then suddenly you look at the ground, for a while it looks a little blue, doesn't it. Or maybe not. Whatever.

Answer 4

No. The sky appears blue because of the reflection of light from the planet to the sky.

Answer 5

It is not the question of the sky being blue, it is the question of is there really a sky?

Answer 6

If you had the possibility of avoiding the reflection of the ozone layer, and had the chance to see the whole sky from far away, it'd be green on behalf of the different colours of the stars.
Still, we see it blue. But maybe, light reflects differentlyin my eye and I see it in a blue that could be your green or his yellow!

Answer 7

Define "blue"

To whom?

When?

Define "sky"

Under what contingent historical conditions do the signifiers "sky" and "blue" combine together in various discourse chains to create meaning for those people thrown into the aforementioned contingent historical conditions?

For that matter from whose perspective are these discourse chains related as history?

What are the vested interests maintaining this hegemony of blue sky and its signifgance in the cultural meta-narrative?

What are the power relations between those who believe in the hegemonic discourse of blue skies and those who have other discourses - such as the colorblind.
