It is red.

Nah, the sky is blue because up there *waves in the general direction of up* blue is the colour that's easiest to reflect. Or something.

I can't remember how it works...

Something to do with the light spectrum.

well its the chemical makeup in the air, plus the lighting that creates the nice blue tint... you know the atmosphere is mainly made from nitrogen (N2)... well it turns out its actually not colourless... its blue!

nope that was wrong... its the atmosphere that seperates the light into its true forms(red blue green makes white) the red and green is relected into space... the blue however, is operating on a much higher wavelength... enough to penetrate the atmosphere. the earths magnetic fied has a big role in this one.

same principle in a Blu Ray disc... instead of utilizing a red beam, as the DVD player, it now uses a blue one... the blue has a higher frequency, and is therefore capable of reading smaller data... the disc itself is just a dvd, but with its data more tightly packed... which makes for more space

Because its like a mirror. It reflects the oceans apperance and thats why its blue. If I'm wrong figure it ou yourself._

Cause one day the sky was purple and said I hate purple I want to be blue. So it became blue.

The end

What a bunch of stupid people we have here.

It's because blue in this set of visible light reflects the sun's light, and that is what we see. Technically, every color in the rainbow is the sky. That's why we see a rainbow when it rains, or there is water, because then all the colors reflect.

blue is the shortest wavelength so that's the only thing we can see

it has to do with the spectrum of light i believe... and for you who say it reflects the ocean... i believe that it is the other way around
