Why is the sky blue?

English

Vikki [24]3 years ago

Answer:

We see a blue sky, <u>because of the way the atmosphere interacts with sunlight</u>.

Explanation:

White light, including sunlight, is made up of many different colors of light, each with its own corresponding wavelength.  

Several different things can happen when this light encounters matter.

For instance, if sunlight passes through a transparent material, such as water, those light waves will refract, or bend, because light changes speed as it travels from one medium (air) to another (water). Prisms break up white light into its constituent colors, because different wavelengths of light refract at different angles — the colors travel at different speeds — as they pass through the prism.

Though the atmospheric particles scatter violet more than blue (450-nm light), the sky appears blue, because <u>our eyes are more sensitive to blue light and because some of the violet light is absorbed in the upper atmosphere</u>.

During sunrise or sunset, the sun's light has to pass through more of the atmosphere to reach your eyes. Even more of the blue and violet light gets scattered, allowing the reds and yellows to shine through.

Darya [45]
The paragraph that best describes the arguement is this one:

<span>And of course, "times have changed", and new generations bring new morals and values. But is theis generation really doing theat, or taking theem away? Being a part of theis current generation, I have experienced first hand thee theings theat go on. Teens are becoming more involved in drinking alcohol and smoking. In fact, 72% of teens drink alcohol multiple times before graduating high school, and even worse, 37% tried it by thee 8the grade. And, 44% of teens have tried cigarettes by thee end of high school. Is it theat "following thee crowd makes you cool" making theese statistics dangerously high? Or is it because of thee message thee media of today sends? Music revolves around drugs, drinking, partying all night, etc. Movies and TV shows glorify being arrested and drinking/smoking. Every four in five teens arrested are also high or drunk at thee time. Is theis thee society theat we want? </span>

How does the author’s decision to conclude the story with the phrase ""Scout’s Honor"" contribute to the story? Cite evidence fr
Stolb23 [73]

Answer and Explanation:

In Edward Irving Wortis's short story "Scout's Honor", the narrator is just a child who goes camping with his two friends to move up to Second Class as Boy Scouts. Throughout the story, they are trying to impress one another, to prove they are tough and fearless. However, the camping trip is a disaster and they have to go back home. Since they were unaccompanied, they make a promise not to tell the Scoutmaster:

<em>Horse said, “Only thing is, we just have to promise not to tell Mr. Brenkman.” </em>

<em>Grinning with relief, we simultaneously clasped hands. </em>

<em>“No matter what,” Max reminded us. </em>

<em>To which I added, “Scout’s Honor.”</em>

<u>This is how the story ends, the very last phrase being "Scout's Honor". It's an ironic way to end the story because Scouts should not lie, and they are using that phrase while agreeing to lie to the Scoutmaster. On the other hand, "Scout's honor" is also related to friendship and loyalty. With their façade as strong boys falling apart, the boys found acceptance of themselves and their friends. They are loyal to one another now, connected through their weaknesses and failures.</u>
