If you look at the bar to the right of your user name, you will see

Yes it can be in 1 day, may take a few hours before you get the classifieds, but if you start spamming posts and making non-sense, your posts can be deleted and taken from your post count.

welcome to the forum man.

WHY IS THE SKY BLUE?

The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.
However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.



As you look closer to the horizon, the sky appears much paler in color. To reach you, the scattered blue light must pass through more air. Some of it gets scattered away again in other directions. Less blue light reaches your eyes. The color of the sky near the horizon appears paler or white.





And that why the sky is blue. See, you never know what your going to learn when you come to MCF.

OK, i admit it, i googled it.

people, dont listen to him, i told him the answer.
