Why is the sky Blue?

Question

why?

Oh sorry peoples.

Answer 1

Here-The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.

However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.







As you look closer to the horizon, the sky appears much paler in color. To reach you, the scattered blue light must pass through more air. Some of it gets scattered away again in other directions. Less blue light reaches your eyes. The color of the sky near the horizon appears paler or white.









THE BLACK SKY AND WHITE SUN
On Earth, the sun appears yellow. If you were out in space, or on the moon, the sun would look white. In space, there is no atmosphere to scatter the sun's light. On Earth, some of the shorter wavelength light (the blues and violets) are removed from the direct rays of the sun by scattering. The remaining colors together appear yellow.

Also, out in space, the sky looks dark and black, instead of blue. This is because there is no atmosphere. There is no scattered light to reach your eyes.

well that depends on when you are looking at the sky. At night its black, when it rains its grey and sometimes it has a purplish color towards the evening. Sooo.... IS IT REALLY BLUE?

Answer 5

we know that light is composec of seven colors the ROY G BIV then it travels like a frequency blue is the fastest which is the first color to reach the earth......that's why the sky is blue.......

Answer 6

the sun reflects the blue from the ocean and some how it makes the whole sky blue.

Answer 7

i think it has something to do with blue, is the color that is the clearest, cuz its redder down near the horizon where there is more debre and stuff to block the light

Answer 8

light refraction in the atmosphere

Answer 9

something about the light and it reflecting blue...i dont remember...i learned that in 7th grade

Answer 10

because God made it that way and how do we know its blue it could be a different color
