Go ahead and ask me why the sky is blue, I won't answer that one either.

Water vapor.


Actually... Although water and the sky appear blue for the same reason, it is
not directly related to water itself (in vapour or liquid form).  Oxygen,
nitrogen, and water molecules are all approximately the same size, which
happens to be just big enough to scatter blue light.  Longer wavelengths of
light are not affected as much, and they mostly keep right on going.

Sorry for butting in.  I just hope this is relevant to the ongoing discussions
of U.S. politics.

I knew some anal-retentive type would take the bait....

(...) Wow. A delayed reaction insult. It was just sitting there saying "don't touch me". Scott A (23 years ago, 18-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) ? But I didn't even mention absorption! Blathering on about absorption when discussing a phenomenon that is entirely due to scattering - now THAT would be anal-retentive. ;) Jeff J (23 years ago, 18-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
