Hey Eb, the sky is blue

[Shaun41178(2)]

Just seeing if I can get you to argue this with me. Any wikipedia links to tell me its not that you could post up?

If I wanted to get your attention, I would post a Sesame Street link. Hilarious for your <100 IQ to be even trying to occupy the same space as my intellect.

Diffuse sky radiation is solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface after having been scattered from the direct solar beam by molecules or suspensoids in the atmosphere. It is also called skylight, diffuse skylight, or sky radiation and is the reason for changes in the colour of the sky. Of the total light removed from the direct solar beam by scattering in the atmosphere (approximately 25% of the incident radiation when the sun is high in the sky, depending on the amount of dust and haze in the atmosphere), about two-thirds ultimately reaches the earth as diffuse sky radiation.

The important processes in the atmosphere (Rayleigh scattering and Mie scattering) are elastic. No energy transformation results, only a change in the spatial distribution of the radiation.

The sunlit sky appears blue because air scatters short-wavelength light more than longer wavelengths. Since blue light is at the short wavelength end of the visible spectrum, it is more strongly scattered in the atmosphere than long wavelength red light. The result is that the human eye perceives blue when looking toward parts of the sky other than the sun.[1] Near sunrise and sunset, most of the light we see comes in nearly tangent to the Earth's surface, so that the light's path through the atmosphere is so long that much of the blue and even green light is scattered out, leaving the sun rays and the clouds it illuminates red. Therefore, when looking at the sunset and sunrise, you will see the color red more than any of the other colors.

Scattering and absorption are major causes of the attenuation of radiation by the atmosphere. Scattering varies as a function of the ratio of the particle diameter to the wavelength of the radiation. When this ratio is less than about one-tenth, Rayleigh scattering occurs in which the scattering coefficient varies inversely as the fourth power of the wavelength. At larger values of the ratio of particle diameter to wavelength, the scattering varies in a complex fashion described, for spherical particles, by the Mie theory; at a ratio of the order of 10, the laws of geometric optics begin to apply.

There are three commonly detectable points of zero polarization of diffuse sky radiation (known as neutral points) lying along the vertical circle through the sun.

* The Arago point, named after its discoverer, is customarily located at about 20° above the antisolar point; but it lies at higher altitudes in turbid air. The latter property makes the Arago distance a useful measure of atmospheric turbidity.
* The Babinet point, discovered by Babinet in 1840, is located about 15° to 20° above the sun, hence it is difficult to observe because of solar glare.
* The Brewster point, discovered by Brewster in 1840, is located about 15° to 20° below the sun; hence it is difficult to observe because of solar glare.

There is essentially no direct sunlight under an overcast sky, so all light is then diffuse sky radiation. The flux of light is not very wavelength dependent because the cloud droplets are larger than the light's wavelength and scatter all colours approximately equally. The light passes through the translucent clouds in a manner similar to frosted glass. The intensity ranges (roughly) from 1/6 of direct sunlight for relatively thin clouds down to 1/1000 of direct sunlight under the extreme of thickest storm clouds

The sky is similar to the Tyndall effect, which for you retarded rednecks who don't know about that...
The Tyndall effect is an effect of light scattering by colloidal particles or particles in suspension. It is named after the 19th century Irish scientist John Tyndall. It is similar to Rayleigh scattering, in that the intensity of the scattered light depends on the fourth power of the frequency, so blue light is scattered more strongly than red light. An example in everyday life is the blue colour sometimes seen in the smoke emitted by motor bikes. The phenomenon is best explained by Mie theory as the particle size is much greater than the wavelength of light.

The basis for distinguishing between Tyndall and Rayleigh scattering is the intensity of the phenomenon. Colloidal particles are much larger than atoms or molecules. It follows from scattering theory that Tyndall scattering (by colloidal particles) is much more intense than Rayleigh scattering (by atoms or molecules). Tyndall scattering can be used to determine the size of colloidal particles. Tyndall scattering is also often used to describe light scattering by macroscopic particles such as dust in the air. However, this phenomenon is more like reflection, as the macroscopic particles become visible in the process.

When measuring Raman spectra of solutions, ultrafiltration may be needed to minimize interference by Tyndall scattering.

Prolonged and brilliantly coloured sunsets and twilights were frequently seen in London in the summer of 1815 due to Tyndall scattering of sunlight by ash particles in the upper atmosphere, produced by the earlier eruption of the volcano Tambora. Such a sunset may have been the inspiration for the brilliant and evocative sunset in the painting The Fighting Temeraire, though a similar effect could have been produced by Rayleigh scattering with exceptionally high atmospheric pressure.

There are words with more than 2 syllables, that is quite obviously plagiarized. Hey Cinci Fiero, I knew you weren't good for your word that you would block me, I knew you couldn't help yourself, go back and finish banging your mother. ; > )

Sorry work computer does not store cookies, so I had to read your retarded tirade when I first opened the thread. If you actually read you'd realize my answer was to shauns question and totally unrelated to the irrelevant bullshit that spews from every orifice on your body. But now I am logged in and all I will have to read is:

Good for you, that way all your gay porn sites won't be recorded either; you need to look at the silver lining.

My fingers aren't orifices. My god you are dumb. As well, it was intended for me to act as if you were posting to your BF.

And even before, you were like that fat chick who just couldn't stay out of the fridge even tho she promised herself. Don't blame your lack of honesty and self-control on me.

Oh I am sorry did you say something? All I see is a gray bar? Probably something about my sister, the jokes get more original every time.

Funny, for a tool that wasn't going to reply, sure are a lot. Can't help yourself, can you?

Shame on me, god, us sociopaths.

[whipped]

The sky is clear bitches

[EBSB52]

Shame on me, god, us sociopaths.

Glad to see you went back on your word and you're posting, just like a good little tweeker, just can't put down the pipe or refrain from so-called blocking me.

[CincinnatiFiero]

You're still a gray line, why are you wasting your time?

[Emc209i]

Fucking post block ftw huh?! I never have to see what he "brings" to the discussion ever again! lulz

[EBSB52]

You're still a gray line, why are you wasting your time?

You're still addressing me, contrary to what you stated. BTW, how do you know what I'm writing, I could be writing anything to anyone, you're obviously reading my posts or you wouldn't know I'm, as you put it, "wasting my time." God you're simple.

[EBSB52]

Fucking post block ftw huh?! I never have to see what he "brings" to the discussion ever again! lulz

Thank you, let's see if you have the character to follow thru, pimple-faced, 15YO, turd with feet.

[CincinnatiFiero]

Is he still posting? Tempting to hit reveal post, but naaaaaaaaa. Come get me EBS, bring my 12 year old sister back into it, that was appropriate of you.

[EBSB52]

I know, as you are a crack addict, you just can't help yourself, you claim to block, but then, just as the crack urge hits, you must reply with nothing.
