The sky is whatever color you may perceive it to be. Just because you call it blue doesn't necessarily mean it is blue. Technically, the sky is only one thing...and that is the sky.

Right now the sky above me is black with lots of pretty little white lights in it, and some grey clouds...
Good point. That post did not fail. However, this thread does as it has already lowered my IQ well into the double digit range.Sarrk wrote:

It depends what you mean. Technichally the sky is only blue during the day. Like now. There is no sun light, and the sky is black with white dots. In the very early morning and late evening the it becomes red if the conditions are right. What exactly are you getting at?
the sky is limitless, not 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.
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.
The internet say's you are wrong. They sky is not blue.

Sky is blue, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_sky_radiation, this is stupid.
WOW ITS BLUE??? i thought it was mixes of magenta, fluro green and some other psychedlic colours
But is it not day somewhere else?Ganko_06 wrote:

Like I said, the sky is many things, but of all those things it can only permanently be one thing...and that is the sky.
it goes golden in the evening when the sun sets, as for why it was actually blue most of the time i can't remember, something to do with the colour of oxygen (which in solid form is blue), and the ozone layer (which is 3 oxygen molecules bonded together), but i can't remember why exactly...
And though, we may not have learnt much, we have learnt this

Sarrk, our test has proved us correct. People on the Internet will argue about anything, mostly for the sake of being able to be belligerent with the benefit of anonymity.
You people.......wait, I'm sorry, sheep, fail at life.

I couldn't care less about being anonymous. I just like making other people feel dumb.Cougar wrote:

No entirely accurate. The sky looks blue as it is the blue light wave frequencies that reach your eye (the rest being absorbed). You are correct there. But then most things you observe have a certain colour as that object absorbs all other frequencies within the visible spectrum (white things and black things are not part of this though as white is all the visible spectrum getting to your eye and black is none of it). By using your logic, you could extrapolate from that that sunflowers are not yellow, grass is not green etc. The sky is blue (sometimes), and just because we know why it appears blue, does not make it any less blue.silo1180 wrote:

There is no "sky" per-se. Only space. Quote me and die.

The sky isn't technically blue, it's the reflection of the earth. The earth is more water than land so during the day when the sun reflects off the earth, the sky looks blue. Since no light is being reflected off the earth at night, it appears black. I would say if you had to put a color on it, it's black because after you get a certain height off the ground, the sky looks black, not blue.
