https://mocomi.com/ presents : Why is the Sky Blue?

What makes the sky so blue and the ocean the same hue? The answer is actually quite simple and this video makes it even easier to understand.

The sea and other water bodies are large masses of water contained by catchments in the land whereas the sky is all around us. Even the sky, like the sea appears to be many different shades of blue. You can make this comparison because the same effect that takes place in the sea is what makes the sky blue. The trillions upon trillions of water droplets in the atmosphere reflect the blue wavelength of the sun’s rays while absorbing all the rest.

The reason that a bucket of water and the air around us seem clear and transparent is because light is able to penetrate completely through these particles. The quantity of water or air which we are observing is not enough to demonstrate this effect. Doesn’t it make you wonder if only one of them is actually blue and the other one is cheating?

Collect different colored cellophane papers and use them to look at the sky (and sea if possible) what do you notice with the different colors? Does the outcome of your observations change at sunrise and sunset?
