Why Is The Sky Blue?

I've seen this question on here as recently as today, and the majority of people answering say the ocean is blue and it reflects off the sky, hence a blue sky. I give the right answer and get thumbs down from these morons. The reason the ocean appears...

I was just thinking one day, and I thought, why does everyone color water blue? Well, obviously pools, the ocean, lakes, etc, all seem blue. But we all know that water is CLEAR!!!! What the heck? Well, duh, water is reflective, and what's always above...

A. The sky appears blue because blue is prettier than green. B. The sky appears blue because God has blue eyes, and the sky is God's eye. C. The sky appears blue because there is a sheet of transparent, blue plastic 500 feet above the Earth's surface...

Why is the Sky Blue? 1.Science: 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. Much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules...

We had several beautiful days and the sky was very blue and the clouds very white, beautiful and puffy like cool whip (yum). Today, though, the clouds blue, and I understand its going to rain eventually and they are filled with water perhaps but I don...

I understand Rayleigh scattering is responsible for why the sky is blue, i understand it's the same for why the sky is sometimes orange then red at sunset, what i am wondering is first how come we don't see the sky as violet since it has a shorter wavelength...

I understand why the sky is blue, but if it is because of the shorter wave lengths of blue light, then why do we not see the sky as violet? Is it a physiological thing (where the human eye cannot detect the violet??) or is it psychological (where we...
