The reason the ocean is blue is because the color of the sky reflects on the ocean.
The blue color of sea water is due to the way it absorbs and scatters sunlight. Water molecules absorb red, orange, yellow, and green light waves more strongly, while blue light waves are absorbed less, allowing them to penetrate deeper and be reflected back to our eyes. This gives the illusion of the water appearing blue.
The color of the sea appears blue due to selective absorption and scattering of sunlight in the water. When sunlight hits the surface of the ocean, water molecules absorb colors in the red part of the light spectrum, while blue and green wavelengths are reflected and scattered. This scattering effect is why our eyes perceive the sea as blue. It is not solely due to reflecting the color of the sky, although the color of the sky can influence the overall appearance of the sea.
Because seawater is almost completely transparent, but does have a color. When you put a small quantity in your hand (or in a cup), it will seem transparent, but in large bodies of water it definitely has a color. That's why a sea as a whole appears green, but a handful of sea water doesn't.
People color raindrops blue because the ocean is blue and the ocean is water. The ocean is blue because the blue sky reflects on the water turning it blue. Water is really clear. The ocean is really clear. Since the sea is water and raindrops are water people assume that raindrops are blue and color them blue. Some people know raindrops are not blue but color them anyway because they want to add more color in their drawings.
because the sea reflects the COLOUR of the sky
The ocean is blue due to the way that light enters the atmosphere. The spectrum (Rainbow effect) refracts the light and the light is blue this light is reflected of the ocean to make it look blue. this mixed with the depth enables the sea to look blue.
A sea is a body water that is not as large of a ocean. A sea looks blue or green in color, depending on the life it contains and the land near it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Water absorb radiations with long wavelengths (red, orange, yellow, green) but not the blue radiation, the color that we see - this is the explanation. Other so-called religious or philosophical theories for this color are only nonsense.
The name Neptune is from the Roman god of the Sea, Neptune
The phrase "deep blue sea" means any deep water - if you have ever seen really deep ocean or lake water, you know that it is a really deep blue, almost black, color.
The sea is not purple, it is clear, but depending on the colour of the sky it can change. So if the sky is bright blue one day, that color will reflect on to the ocean:)
