Title: Why IS The Sky Blue?
Post by: Cleanest Natural on July 18, 2010, 12:54:47 PM
At night, with no Sun reflection, the atmosphere allows the light from distant stars to be refracted through gases in the upper layers enveloping the Earth, so we see stars against a dark background.

In the day, the sunlight reflects against the ocean waters into the atmosphere, giving a blue appearance tot he sky.

Wrong,
Read a book and learn about light refraction.

WHY IS THE SKY BLUE?

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.

Blue sky from scattered light

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.

Sky paler at horizon

the sky is blue cause all other colours of light are absorbed in the atmosphere only letting blue thru...
