Questions

Why is the sky blue?

This is the question that Gabe asked randomly while we were driving in the car yesterday. My answer went something like this...

Me: "Well the earth has its own atmosphere. Once you get out of the atmosphere you are out in space and something with reflecting or something...Outerspace is dark...blah blah blah...(Make up what I can remember from science class.)"

Gabe: "So the sky is blue because of the atmosphere?"

Me: "Sure. That sounds about right."

I think that I am going to have to brush up on some of my science knowledge for this kid!
