Hiyah! Welcome back to a wonderful Science Solutions blog post! Today our topic is a simple question... "Why is the sky blue?" Thankfully, in this blog today...no research was needed. Us students were asked to guess or discuss why the sky is blue. Here is my hypothesis, or a simple thought about something with a though out detail. When oxygen first formed on the earth... it created the ozone layer. The ozone layer helps protect the earth from harmful outer-space objects. When the oxygen formed the ozone layer, it kind of trapped itself inside a big bubble. The oxygen still populated just filled the bubble up slowly. This created the sky and the oxygen helps the sky stay its color by reflecting only the color blue, but absorbing all the other colors as well. Everything we know reflects color. Your shoelaces, your aunts china set, your teachers calculator. Everything. It takes in color but only reflects a few of the colors it absorbs. 


     Color is a very interesting topic but is useful to our scientists. What would life be like without color? Why is color so important? Those are all simple questions you can answer! Just remember that color absorbs all but only reflects small. That's an easy way to remember that even the grayest shade you've ever seen still absorbs red, purple, and yellow (much more colors as well) but only reflects the gray. Color absorbs all, but only reflects small.
