Sunlight interacting with the Earth's atmosphere makes the sky blue. In outer space the astronauts see blackness because outer space has no atmosphere. 
<span>Sunlight consists of light waves of varying wavelengths, each of which is seen as a different color. The minute particles of matter and molecules of air in the atmosphere intercept and scatter the white light of the sun. A larger portion of the blue color in white light is scattered, more so than any other color because the blue wavelengths are the shortest. </span><span>When the size of atmospheric particles are smaller than the wavelengths of the colors, selective scattering occurs-the particles only scatter one color and the atmosphere will appear to be that color. Blue wavelengths especially are affected, bouncing off the air particles to become visible.</span><span>This is why the sun looks yellow from Earth (yellow equals white minus blue). In space, the sun appears white because there is nothing in between to scatter its white light. </span><span>At sunset, the sky changes color because as the sun drops to the horizon, sunlight has more atmosphere to pass through and loses more of its blue wavelengths. The orange and red, having the longer wavelengths and making up more of sunlight at this distance, are most likely to be scattered by the air particles. </span><span>The scattering of visible light by atmospheric gases is most correctly called the </span>Tyndall effect<span>, but it is more commonly known to physicists as </span>Rayleigh scattering<span> after Lord Rayleigh, who studied it in more detail a few years later. Rayleigh Scattering is where red, orange, yellow, and green are passed through and blue, indigo, and violet are "scattered" out creating the color.</span><span>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. </span>

Answer: 1. flooding

2. Old Kingdom

3. Rosetta Stone

4. monotheism

5. Sobekneferu

6. New Kingdom

7. The Nile was the main source of water and the main route of transit in ancient Egypt. Its annual flooding was predictable and enriched the soil, which made the Nile River Valley one of the most productive in the ancient world.

8. The Egyptians worshipped many gods. The pharaohs were not only the head of the religion in Egypt, but their rule was also thought to be ordained by the gods. Ancient Egyptians believed that the afterlife was similar to their living life and wanted to prepare people for a similar existence after death. As a result, for the pharaohs during the Old Kingdom, the pyramids were constructed as elaborate tombs that contained everything that a ruler might need in the afterlife.

Answer:

The fall of the Berlin Wall/end of the Cold War

Explanation:

On November 9, 1989, as the Cold War began to thaw across Eastern Europe, the spokesman for East Berlin’s Communist Party announced a change in his city’s relations with the West. Starting at midnight that day, he said, citizens of the GDR were free to cross the country’s borders. East and West Berliners flocked to the wall, drinking beer and champagne and chanting “Tor auf!” (“Open the gate!”). At midnight, they flooded through the checkpoints.

More than 2 million people from East Berlin visited West Berlin that weekend to participate in a celebration that was, one journalist wrote, “the greatest street party in the history of the world.” People used hammers and picks to knock away chunks of the wall–they became known as “mauerspechte,” or “wall woodpeckers”—while cranes and bulldozers pulled down section after section. Soon the wall was gone and Berlin was united for the first time since 1945. “Only today,” one Berliner spray-painted on a piece of the wall, “is the war really over.”
