Christiaan Huygens was probably one of the first scientist to suggest that light should be thought of in waves and that light bends. It was 150 years before this could be proven. Bending light has everything to do with the blue sky.

The 1st person who discovered the reason for blue sky?

The discovery of the reason for the blue sky is credited to Sir John William Strutt, also known as Lord Rayleigh. In the 19th century, he explained that the scattering of sunlight by the gases and particles in the Earth's atmosphere causes the blue color of the sky.


A blizzard under blue sky?

A blue sky during a blizzard is not unusual. The sun can still shine through the clouds and blue sky can be visible during a snowstorm. This can create a striking contrast between the white snowfall and the bright blue sky.


Is the sky blue a hypothesis?

No. The sky is just as blue as a blue shirt though. Technically an object, such as a shirt or the sky, is not blue. The object just appears to be blue because it absorbs all other colors of the spectrum and reflects blue back which is the same with any other color seen.


Why is the sky and water blue?

The sky is blue because of Rayleigh scattering -- blue photons scatter off air molecules to a large extent, while the other colors travel directly in straight lines from the sun, making the sky appear blue and the sun appear yellow (white minus blue). In space, or on the airless moon, the sky is black and sun is white. It is NOT true that oceans look blue due to sky reflection. Water also scatters blue light, so the explanation of its color is largely the same as that for the sky.


The sky's blue color is caused by?

The sky's blue color is caused by Rayleigh scattering, in which shorter blue wavelengths are scattered more than longer wavelengths by molecules and particles in the Earth's atmosphere. This results in blue light being dispersed in all directions, giving the sky its blue appearance.
