A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. This explains on the Newton's in the use of prism. Happy posting.

Sunlight is made of all different colors. Red, Orange, yellow, green , blue and violet. When sunlight strikes earth, some of it is reflected off the water, reflecting the color of the sky. Some of the sunlight penetrates in the water and is scattered by particles in the water. Much of the sunlight is scattered by the oxygen in the water and it scatters more of the blue light.

blue sea - sea reflects the sky
I think sea reflects the sky. Blue is the color of the rays of the sun to engage in depth. When a ray of sunlight reaches the surface water, it does not stop his way, but fall in different colors as you descend deeper. During the first yellow feet disappears, then the red and green. Then, there is just blue. So variations of the depth of the sea give different nuances that you know. How big is less deep, so the blue is clear, even green. The more deep, the blue is dark, sometimes beating to black.

I remember something on this at school, its just that my daughter asked me, and instead of bluddering through, I thought I would try and get a better response on here.
