It's not really blue, it just appears that way because of the reflection of the sky on the water.
The ocean appears blue because water molecules absorb light from the red part of the spectrum and scatter light in the blue part of the spectrum more efficiently. This scattering causes more blue light to reach our eyes, making the ocean appear blue.
When you look into an ocean or a lake, the water looks like it's blue. But, up close, water isn't really blue. It's only blue when you look at it in big groups, (like an ocean or a lake, a pond etc.), because the sky is blue, so the color of the sky makes a blue reflection on the water, making it look blue. So, on a map, if you drew water as clear, nobody would be able to tell there was anything there at all! So, water on a map is drawn blue instead.
See the sky reflects its blue color so it appears to to u as shades of blue Hey that rhymed! :D
Indian Ocean covers 20% of water on the earths surface.
No, the blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) is not an ocean plant. It is a water lily that typically grows in ponds and shallow water bodies in regions like Egypt and other parts of East Africa.
Cours the ocean is full of water (What is blue) and the sky is full of water (The clouds are just water).
The water actually is blue but it looks like it is clear
Baby blue mixed with a little indigo
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.
water in ocean or sea is colored blue because of the replection of the blue sky... water is colorless...
Ocean water is a mixture because it has water and salt together.
Blue sharks live in salt water oceans. Blue sharks can be found in the Atlantic Ocean and in the Pacific Ocean.
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.
The ocean appears blue because water molecules absorb light from the red part of the spectrum and scatter light in the blue part of the spectrum more efficiently. This scattering causes more blue light to reach our eyes, making the ocean appear blue.
I believe when this happens there is phosphorus in the water, I'm not sure how it gets there though.
The water in the ocean appears blue because it absorbs colors from the sunlight spectrum and reflects blue light back to our eyes. This is due to the way water molecules scatter and absorb light wavelengths.
makes the ocean water saltier
