if you can answer this question...i will treat you to something from greggs
Jump to: Newest in thread
when ever i have a call from a service center or some such they always ask the same question at the end of the call " is there anything else i can help you with today?"
so i always take the opportunity to say " yes ,can you explain why the sky is blue" i have had some interesting responses to this and i'm sure some of the people have explained but just not in a way i can understand, so any plain speaking boffins with a taste for greggs have a go and put me out of my misery. |

Because blue light has the shortest wavelength and gets scattered more by the atmosphere
Or summat
I'll have a hot cheese and onion pasty please.
Oh wait, you said Greggs, in that case I'll have a lukewarm cheese and onion pasty  |

spot on
"Sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gases and particles in the air. Blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth's atmosphere. Blue is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time

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. hope this helps lol sausage and bean slice please !!!! |

"I always tell them im driving, always works. Little do they know im stood in my lounge lol"
Wrong, you can tell from the lack of background noise. When a customer tells me that I always tell them, "oh yes I can hear the car engine" so they know that I know that they're lying  |

"I always thought it was to do with the reflection from the ocean. Don't I feel dumb now! Lol 
You were close, the sea is blue because it reflects the sky"
I'll just pretend I actually knew that but got mixed up! |
