Why is the sky blue?
The atmosphere is the mixture of gas molecules and other materials surrounding the earth. It is made mostly of the gases nitrogen (78%), and oxygen (21%). Argon gas and water (in the form of vapor, droplets and ice crystals) are the next most common things. There are also small amounts of other gases, plus many small solid particles, like dust, soot and ashes, pollen, and salt from the oceans.

The blue color of the sky is due to 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.

Is a personal choice so no real answer there.

Why cant the Cowboys get over a 500 record?
Cause they have a quarterback who is not clutch and rest on the fact they are "America's Team"


Why did A-Rod takes steroids?
Because he has low self Esteem and thought that by being the best he would get everyone to like him.

Cant answer any of these questions but it is what it is. Deal with it
