Question of the day :D 06/10/02

[Omni]

Why is the sky blue? Only 1 person has been able to answer the question of all the people I asked :)

Maybe we could have "question of the days" on another thread or something :D

[Crabby]

Could it be because the sky is sad? :wink:

-or-

Could it be because the prismatic effect of air molecules scatters blue light more that the other colors?

However, at sunrise and sunset, the light has to travel through "more" air because of the angle and "dustier" air because it is closer to the surface of the earth. Then, the dust particles scatter the red end of the spectrum and we see a (sometimes) beautiful sunset. (former science teacher here - is that cheating?).

[Crabby]

If either of those answers don't work, just ask Jeeves... :wink: (picked that up from another thread)

[Omni]

Darn that spoilt the whole fun! All explanation you have there sounds too complicated for me :)

[Crabby]

Dang, I jest made it up fer funnin'.

Ok, Ok - here's another one for "Question of the Day."

Wadda ya call a dear that has no eyeballs?

What about the ocean?

What about the mountains?

They look blue. :)

[Crabby]

Purple mauntains? Looking far away to the distant mountains you are looking through many air molecules (remember the scattered blue light) and you are also looking through "dust" particles because that air is closer to the surface of the earth (remember the scattered red light). Now, think about a box of the basic eight Crayola crayons...mix red and blue...what color do we get?

Blue Ocean? Not sure. There is disagreement about the water absorbing most colors except blue and/or some of the chemicals and microscopic flora/fauna in the water having an effect on the color being returned to our eyes. In some places the ocean looks green... :D

Sorry, must be the teacher in me showing through - too bad becasue it is the weekend. :? ..

Now, what about the deer question...? :lol: :lol: :lol:

[BloodlessPharaoh]

LOL....

Crabby, you just passed the test. Now you can go to the next level, grade 3. :)

[Crabby]

Well, thank you.

I just did the math: At this rate I'll get my diploma on the same day I receive my first Social Security check. Cool 8) .
:twisted:
:P
:oops:

Still no takers on the deer question yet.....

[BloodlessPharaoh]

In some places the ocean looks green... :D

True, but when you go farther and farther, that ocean will look blue. :)

[Omni]

A deer with no eye balls = a blind deer :D

[hostnuclear]

I thought the sky was blue because it reflected the ocean

hostnuke.
