"Why is the sky blue?". This is a common question asked by many children. The short and simple answer is that the air molecules in the atmosphere disperse or scatter the light when it passes through them. Since blue has a shorter wavelength, it is scattered more and therefore, the sky looks mostly blue to us.

10. Ocean

Vast expanses of water like the ocean reflect the blue colour of the sky and appear blue themselves. Since oceans cover 71% of the earth's surface, the earth also appears blue from space.
