Why does the water in a swimming pool look more shallow from the outside than when you step in?

This phenomenon occurs due to the refraction of light as it travels from the air into the water. When light enters the water at an angle, it changes speed and bends, causing objects beneath the water's surface to appear shifted and closer to the surface than they actually are. This refraction effect makes the water appear shallower when viewed from the outside.

Gatsby stops the Gardener because he has never used his pool and he wants to enjoy it for the first time.

How thick is 2 mil?

1/1000 inch sorry this is so wrong!

1 inch is 2.5 centimetres. 1cm=10mil. So.....1 inch is 25mm. 1mil = 1/25 0f an inch

*sigh* a "mil" is NOT a "millimetre"! your statement "1cm=10mil." is absolutely incorrect! 1cm = 10 mm

a "mil" IS exactly one one-thousandth [1/1000] of an inch. this is commonly used to measure thickness. check your common, everyday, household trash bags. they'll say they're a "strong, X mils thick!" or some such, right on the box. the X is number of mils, which aren't as many as you might think!

here, for example, are some thicknesses of a popular brand of household trash bag:

13 gallon Tall Kitchen Bags: .90 mil

30 gallon Trash Bags: 1.1 mil

33 gallon Large Trash Bags: 1.1 mil

39 gallon Lawn & Leaf Bags: 1.1 mil

as you can see, if 1 mil was equal 1/25th of an inch, plastic bags would be pretty thick. about as thick as a paper plate, if you think about it. there are approximately 25 of them, per inch. I'm referring to the typical thin, flat white paper plates that we buy for cheap at the dollar store, use once and throw away. and trash bags are nowhere near that thick!

How many gallons of water can fit into a 4ft by 4ft by 4ft?

I assume your measurements are in feet. Also I assume you are giving length x depth x hight. If so the calculation is 48"x 24"x 12" divided by 231 which is approximately 59.84 US gallons. if the tank is filled to overflowing. If you allow for the 1 inch or so that is at the top and never filled, you would have to calculate 40"x 24"x 11" divided by 231 which is 54.8 US gallons approximately. If you further add gravel and rocks you would have to do more similar calculations to get your actual water volume. Then, if you wish to be successful, and give yourself a chance at keeping your fish alive, you will supply the following necessities :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank needs a fully cycled filter running permanently. :- Every tank must have 50% of its water replaced every week. Follow the above rules and your fish will stand a chance of survival. Fail to follow them and I can guarantee that your fish will have constant health problems.
