Why are the blue mountains so cold?

The Blue Mountains are colder due to their higher elevation, which results in lower temperatures as you go higher up. Additionally, the Blue Mountains are located in a region that experiences cooler weather patterns compared to lower altitudes.


How high do you travel before the sky turns black?

Our sky is blue DURING THE DAY because of two things: 1) sunlight is entering our atmosphere 2) our atmosphere is thick enough to preferentially scatter blue light. If either (1) or (2) cease to be true, then the sky will NOT be blue. As night "falls," the sky does not go instantly from blue to black. Instead, less and less of our Sun's light is available to scatter, and thus the sky goes slowly from blue to black. It's the same way as you go higher and higher. There is no altitude at which there is simply no longer enough atmosphere to scatter enough sun light to give the sky a blue look. It is more the case that, as you go higher and higher, the sky becomes less and less blue -- just like at night "fall." For SOME idea of how our sky changes, check out a video of a space shuttle launch.

What season does the sun appear higher in the sky?

The sun appears higher in the sky during the summer season. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, which causes the northern or southern hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight. As a result, the days are longer and the sun reaches a higher peak in the sky at noon. Conversely, during winter, the sun appears lower in the sky.

The woman removed her comb and necklace and hung them on the low sky. But whenever she pounded, she would hit the sky. So she requested the sky to rise higher. It thundered and the sky rose higher. Still the pestle hit the sky. So the woman again asked the sky to go higher. It thundered and the sky rose higher. Still the pestle hit the sky. So the woman again asked the sky to go higher.
