Blue light refracts more, so the blue light refracts everywhere in the sky, thus making the sky look blue. Refraction remember not reflection. In the evenings when the sun is on the horizon the red light penetrates more thus the horizon appears red. thats pretty much what I meant, but I said it in a really confusing way..lol |

What I know: The sun prdouces seven wavelengths of color, on the something-scale. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple. Blue is the most produced, so the light beams spread. Red, orange, and yellow produced least, explains why the sun are those colors, I think. For green...I dunno. lol wrong. Seven colors? The sun produces every color wavelength. As does a prism when WHITE light is shown through it. White light has every color. Remember: White is all colors. Black is the absence of colors. |

He means the spectrum, and on that, he's right.

The sky being blue also has something to do with the gases.Some gases change the color like fire changes color when certain minerals are put in the fire.So sometimes the sky at night kinda looks real nice. (Bluish purple.)

As does a prism when WHITE light is shown through it. White light has every color. Remember: White is all colors. Black is the absence of colors. Yeah, white light is notseven colours. Humans just decided to create artifical 'divsions' in the wavelength of light. This is quite complicated but I'll try explain it. The term 'visible light' is basically rubbish. All light is 'visible', it's just that us humans cannot see the some of the spectrum of light. Light is Gamma Rays, X-rays, UV, 'visible lght', IR, Microwaves, Radiowaves. Each of these are only artificial 'divisions'. If you have seen a colour circle, you will se that it changes gradually not in sections. If we could see the whole spectrum, we would have extra colours in between others in our colour circle, which now includes other wavelengths of light. his is why UV is called ultraviolet - because it continues past violet, and IR is called Infrared. Remember, it is a gradual change. |

so basically the sky is blue due to the gases in the atmosphere are able to filter out all the colours except blue (and yellow when you look towards the sun due to atmospheric scattering instead of it's true colour white) also water is not clear as most people think it is actually blue in it's self although there are too few particles for this to be seen and most people believe ,as proven by the people above, the reason why it is blue is just because it reflects the sky

There isn't supposed to be any "SKY", i think. But I only know that it's blue because of the sun. Like when we look at a glass of water it's white, but when we look at an ocean it's blue.

It's because the particles in the air reflect blue in the sunlight you dooshbag! And who is this god's chosen child anyway? He's been spamming everywhere...

For st. patricks day they dyed a river green, an ocean would be a whole different story though
