Why is the grass green? Why is the sky blue? It just is lol

Uhm......no.

Grass is green because it contains the pigment chlorophyll.

The sky is blue because of 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.


Hope that clears it up.
