Why is the sky blue?
Why is the sky blue?
It is a question that has had people stumped for years and is finally answered. Today you will be told why the sky is blue.
It all starts with the Sun. The Sun gives out light that comes in different colours and each colours has a different density and each density relates to a different texture/material that makes the objects its colour.
The next thing that comes into play is the atmosphere. All things with mass are made up of matter and matter has colour. Floating in the air is matter or atoms which are microscopic particles which makes up everything in existence including air.
Air is mostly made up of carbon atoms which as luck would have it is made up of the right material so that it is blue. so as the blue bounces off the carbon atoms the rest of the colours glide by.
This process is similar to how rainbows are made. The light goes on the water in the atmosphere to create the colours of the rainbow.
So in conclusion the Sky is blue because of the properties of the Sun the atmosphere and carbon, and that is why the Sky is Blue.
Thank you for explaining this it helps me understand but you could of and maybe add some visual information I think it would really help.
ReplyDeleteHi Zach,
ReplyDeleteWell done! I have enjoyed learning about 'Why the Sky is Blue'. You have worked very hard on this information report. You have included lots of facts to expand on your ideas. I like that you have used lots of technical vocabulary, e.g. atmosphere. Next time, I think adding in some diagrams would help the reader understand more. Keep up the great work.
Annyeong Zach,
ReplyDeleteGreat work. I really have learnt something new from you. You have explained clearly and write it in your own words. It is also a good explanation of knowing why the sky is blue!
Great effort!
