Why is the sky blue?
Very nice.

Do you really mean this?
It's already on my friggin' hard drive downstairs.
But, if you really mean it, yea, I'll visit.

Because the air refracts the sunlight, creating what we see as sky color.

This is not an effect of refraction but, if I remember right ,the colour
blue is in addition a polarisation effect while the "lightness" depends
on the scattering. The air molecules scatter the light. If you look up
then the effect is the smallest and the sky the more blueish. If you
look at the horizion the light has more atmospheric length to scatter so
that the sky shows more of a light blue there.

Refraction is not the keyword here. Rayleigh scattering is responsible
for the color of the sky.

What's that supposed to mean?

Actually, if you want to get technical, space isn't black in this scene, it's
blue :P

I'm only repeating what I learned in school. I seem to have been
misinformed. It shouldn't happen again. (I'll just keep my mouth shut).

It's a good thing my dad is well into physics and optics because he
explained to me the differences between the Mie and Rayleigh
scattering models when they were first introduced in POV 3.0. Not that
I was ever able to put them to good use, mind you.
