Why the Ocean Is Blue (It’s Not Just the Sky)

Описание: Why is the ocean blue? Most of us were taught that the sea simply reflects the sky, but the real scientific truth runs much deeper. In this video we dive beneath the waves to uncover the fascinating physics of light, the mystery of scattering, and why a glass of water is clear while the ocean is a deep, majestic blue.

From ancient Greek theories to modern satellite technology, we explore how water molecules interact with sunlight to "keep the blue and lose the rest." Whether you're a student, a nature lover, or just curious about the world around you, this video will change the way you look at the horizon forever.

In this video, you will learn:

The debunked myth of sky reflection.

How wavelengths of light (red vs. blue) behave underwater.

The difference between coastal turquoise and deep-sea navy.

How ocean color helps scientists monitor the health of our planet.
