Why the sky is blue? This question is often heard when you walk on a clear day along the street, holding your child's hand. And at one point, lifting his head to the sky, and becoming interested in the bluish palette with rare strokes of clouds on him, the kid pulls you by the sleeve and asks his unique question: "Papa / Mama, why is the sky blue?" You look at the sky and understand that There the answer is not written. And you, it turns out, nothing to say to your baby. And it is necessary.
In connection with this, this article is written. It brings parents and children closer to a simple understanding of what is above us, what exactly creates a blue border around our world, which we call the sky.
So, what is the blue sky, first of all? Start with the fact that the sky is blue - it's just the air, similar to the one that surrounds us below, only it's upstairs, and it's more there. Such an explanation the child will understand right away, and, perhaps, will think about your answer, before you continue your explanation.
The sky is blue everywhere and everywhere. Only, depending on the place, can differ in the degree of blueness. You noticed that on a clear day the sun comes out, giving light and warmth. The sun is in many respects a guarantee of fine mood, and, probably, because of it, you have decided to distract a little from daily work and to be dispersed with the inquisitive kid.
So, the main reason why the sky is blue, is precisely in the sun's rays, in its unique interaction with the air. The sun, illuminating the earth with its bright rays, finds an obstacle in the form of a layer of air that "envelops" our planet from all sides. It is through this air that he has to "make his way" to give us his warmth. In the solar ray itself, the entire spectrum of colors was initially laid , starting from red, and ending with purple. All the colors of the rainbow are placed in the sunbeam! And it is at the very moment when this ray of sun passes through the accumulation of air, the sky is painted in the coveted blue color. The sunbeam is like an artist's brush, which "splashes" a light canvas with its flowers. As a result, only one color remains from this "spraying". And this color owns our sky. So why is the sky blue? Because the blue color is the most expressive of all that get to the sky. The blue of the sky is in many respects a unique phenomenon of nature, which provides us with a beautiful mood and a sense of freedom and clarity. It is these properties that have a blue color. He lifts the mood and in no case presses on the person.
From such an answer your child will smile with a happy smile. He will say not quite yet expressive words that it is beautiful, and, perhaps, he will kiss you for such an answer when you take it on pens. Every your answer to such tasks, whether the question "Why is the sky blue?" Or "What is life?", Contributes to the fact that the child learns and learns the laws of life, according to which he will later have to exist. Consciousness of the child should not be distorted by false lies. Your answers should be as simple and clear as possible, then the child will always be grateful to you.
