This blog post may be inaccurate because we were not allowed to do any research. Mr. Kimbley just wanted to see what we knew off the top of our heads about why the sky is blue. I really have no idea, except from what I learned on SpongeBob, on why the sky is blue.
I think maybe the sky is reflecting off the oceans and the sky absorbs all other colors, so we see blue. I'm not very good at this kind of stuff. Maybe the atmosphere acts like a prism bending light? I have no idea. Outer space is dark when the sun is on the opposite side of the world, so all we see is moonlight. That's the only thing that keeps the sky from going completely black to where the point where we can't see anything.
Stars aren't much help when it comes to lighting up the night sky. They're very far away, therefore making them dim. That doesn't help much, does it? I was in the country one time and we couldn't see our hands in front of our faces; that's how dark it was. It was very different from the city where street lights light up the entire town.
