Did it cer strlko ou to inquire why thu iloudless depths of bk abovo us are bo dclluituly blue It Isnt that the gas wo call all Is In lUelf blue. So tar as wo know It Is transparent and absolutely colorless No; iho bluo comes from to fleeted light. Air Is nuur pure; jou couldn't live in it if It were. Countless millions of tiny partlcleH, chiefly of water, aro alwus suspended in It nnd theso arrest tho freo passage of light. Kuth particle has a double reflection cno Internal, the other external and bo the recflctcd rn surfer tho usual icsult of whtt Is called "interference," and show color. You will notice that the bky appears much bluer If you look straight up thin If jou look across toward tho horizon The reason Is that In the first Instance ou are naturally looking through a much thinner lajer of air than in the Rccond. If there were no air, nnd conse quently no watery vapor, and nothing to interfero with the free passage of light, even at midday, the sky above would look perfectly black, and all the stars plainer than they do now at midnight.
