Have you ever wondered why the sky is blue? Neil deGrasse Tyson is here to help you answer that question alongside comic co-host Chuck Nice. And, you’re about to find out why the answer is easy to understand, but not that simple.
You’ll learn how the white light from the sun interacts with the atmosphere through a process called “Rayleigh scattering” that makes the sky blue. Neil tells us why the sky turns different shades as the day goes on, and why the sunset changes from blue to amber.
Discover why the reason we have a blue sky is the same reason you can’t see stars during the daytime. And, how this lead to the discovery of the operational definition of where the atmosphere ends and space begins. Neil explains why he thinks space should be defined by gravity and not by the circumstances of our atmosphere. Lastly, Neil gives us a lesson on the frailty of our atmosphere and our delicate place among the stars.

Two things...first, I love how Neil can be so intelligent and in a blink can come down and enjoy humor that most of us share. Second, I had always thought that the sky was blue because sunlight was being reflected off our oceans into the atmosphere. Makes me start rethinking what else I have so drastically misunderstood.

me too - however, i only hated science at that point, because it could not answer the things i wanted in sufficient depth to fully grasp and understand the universe we live in - now however, i envy those going to school, as the amount of knowledge gathered since i was in school, is mind blogging. and in case i am 38, so was a long time ago. hence, science can now answer to the degree of understanding i want/need. Biggest issue i had in school, was the way it was taught, never taught to understand, just taught things to repeat, so i would sit there and say how is that, how does that happen, why does that happen, and as you can guess couldn't get an answer, so lost interest in it. And at risk of repeating, now they can fill in those blanks and explain things fully, like evolution, and my passion for learning is re-ignited.

@@jdnoflegend9719 That’s actually not why the ocean looks blue either... Water is just blue! It doesn’t reflect that much blue light, so that’s why you can’t tell when it’s in a cup, or in your bath tub. But you can tell when it’s deep in an ocean, or a lake 😁 It’s kind of like how he just assumed you couldn’t see the stars because the sun is bright. We would think that’s the answer, but it’s not!

Likely the air conditioning is turned down to about 62°F, and if you're skinny, you feel the cold more intensely. That's my hypothesis, anyway. Since NDT is wearing a long sleeved shirt of some type under a short sleeved shirt, so he has at least 2 layers on, himself. Maybe a 3rd, if he has an undershirt on, too.
