Partially all though the Sky is not really blue.

Sunlight is made up of Red, Orange,Yellow,Green,blue and violet.

There are gas molecules in the atmosphere and they scatter high energy (frequency) blue more than low energy (frequency) red. Water absorbs Red light and scatters blue so this too appears blue. Unless it is the Red (red algae) or Black (hydrogen sulfide) sea.

Don't stare at the sun though cos you won't see bugger all again.

Greenbeanz is Green though.
