Why is the sky blue?

I am looking for one answer and one answer only!!!!

 

[blut wump]

The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering.

Has to do something with the atmosphere... ill tell you that much.

I'm pretty sure that he's not looking for a scientific-style answer since we already covered it.

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.

I already covered that one. It's called Rayleigh scattering.

 

[jafo]

its the reflection of the ocean

 

[jafo]

its due to the blue tint on your shades

 

[spongebob]

because that is the perception of your eyes. it is your eyes that determine a percieved color, not the sky.

noone can prove that blue exist. it is only referenced.

 

[hardrock]

Because. Plain and simple.

 

[needtogetaas]

so we know when the earth stopes and the sky bigins.
or some shit like that herd it in a moive once.

It's the only color reflected in the prism, that's why glaciers and ice look blue from the sky.

Its blue, well on a clear cloudless day because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.

Or to dumb down a bit; Because thats how God made it.


There you go!

 

[FISHTALES]

because chuck norris round house kicked it blue?

You are the closest so far. If no one comes up with a better answer, you win

HINT.....it has something to do with my new "line of work"
