Tiffany Water reflects onto the sky so it would be red

Taelyn Cause you're so smart

isaiahtaylorforsenatered sky means extreme levels of oxidized iron. It's safe to assume the rain would pull some particles into the water

neverfornothing @Tiffany exactly

neverfornothing @isaiahtaylorforsenate um... But if the sky was read then the water would be red cause it reflects.

Vlad PlasmiusWater is blue all on it's own actually. It doesn't reflect the sky.

isaiahtaylorforsenatewater isn't blue. It is clear. It favors the blue side of the spectrum because of energy absorption in the atmosphere. @neverfornothing, I'm saying the same thing as you, but using science instead. The water would be red, not because of reflection, but because of iron oxide, which would cause the redness in the sky and would undoubtedly be also found in the water of such a planet. It's called science

Star Rosethe water would be red because it reflects off the sky @Slender, it does reflect off the sky because when it's the night the water turns black, just like the sky.

Star Rose@isaiahtaylorforsenate ur completely right, water is clear, that's why when ur at the beach and ur in the water, the water around you is clear because ur up close with it, but when u look at the water in the distance, it looks blue because it is reflecting the sky. If its a gray cloudy day, the water turns gray as well.

Vlad PlasmiusWater is naturally blue, but it is easily afflicted by colors around it.

Vlad PlasmiusJust like if you look in deep oceans, in different parts of the world it can range from light clear blue, deep greenish blue, green, and brown. It's all in the contents of the water. Near where I live, water will still be blue even if it's cloudy.

Vlad Plasmius^outside. It can be overcast, and water will still be a beautiful blue

Vlad Plasmiuswater doesn't turn grey when it's cloudy.

Star Rose@Slender it does where I live

Vlad PlasmiusThen the water must be really dirty. Clear mountain water is a blue, but in the absence of light it's true color can be less prominent.

Vlad Plasmius"The ocean looks blue because red, orange and yellow (long wavelength light) are absorbed more strongly by water than is blue (short wavelength light). So when white light from the sun enters the ocean, it is mostly the blue that gets returned. Same reason the sky is blue." In other words, the color of the ocean and the color of the sky are related but occur independently of each other: in both cases, the preferential absorption of long-wavelength (reddish) light gives rise to the blue. Note that this effect only works if the water is very pure; if the water is full of mud, algae or other impurities, the light scattered off these impurities will overwhelm the water's natural blueness."

Star Rose@Slender well whenever I go to Florida, or Puerto Rico, or Jamaica or the Bahamas ect. the water is blue from a distance, but then when I get in it, and I look at it closely, it's clear sooooo yea

Vlad PlasmiusThat is because the light is dispersed at a closer distance, therefore your puny human eyes doesn't register blue as much, "soooooo yea"

Star Rose@Slender ok, u kind of just proved what I'm saying. But I'm not gonna argue on you about this because I have things to do sooooooooooooooooo bye✌

Vlad Plasmiusoh and explain to me please why indoor pools are blue when there's no sky to reflect from? (And it's not the chlorine, nor is it artificially colored)

Vlad Plasmius"While relatively small quantities of water are observed by humans to be colorless, pure water has a slight blue color that becomes a deeper blue as the thickness of the observed sample increases. The blue tint of water is an intrinsic property and is caused by selective absorption and scattering of white light. Impurities dissolved or suspended in water may give water different colored appearances." Bam. Here's a slightly more detailed answer star rose

Vlad PlasmiusSome constituents of sea water can influence the shade of blue of the ocean. This is why it can look greener or bluer in different areas. Water in swimming pools (which may also contain various chemicals) with white-painted sides and bottom will appear as a turquoise blue. Clean water appears blue in white-tiled swimming pools as well as in indoor pools where there is no blue sky to be reflected. The deeper the pool, the bluer the water. Nevertheless, the water in a swimming pool also appears blue even when the optical path length through the water to the white sides is mere millimeters. Though little water is between the white surface and the observer, evidently reflection at the air-water interface shifts the source of illumination to light that has traversed a large distance through water, as demonstrated with a floating white bucket with water in it.

Vlad PlasmiusI really hope this clears confusion.

Star Rose@Slender I'm not talking about pools though, and I just said I'm not gonna keep arguing about this, I want trying to start some stupid debate

Vlad PlasmiusI'm not debating, I'm clarifying.

Star Rose@Slender well it's no use because I'm still gonna think what I think

Vlad PlasmiusYou can argue all you want, I'm not directing this just at you anyway, but everyone whose confused on the subject

Vlad PlasmiusYou are more than welcome to believe whatever you want. I honestly wouldn't even care if you believed you crapped unicorns, I'm just proving a point

Star Rose@Slender ooookkkkkkk you can stop writing now

Vlad PlasmiusWhy? You don't have to read what I'm saying.

Vlad PlasmiusI'm not even tagging you in anything. You just keep coming back

Star Rose@Slender but I'm still getting a notification though, and I always check my notifications, so that is why I would like you to please stop writing

Star Roseget it

Vlad PlasmiusHaha ok. Well I see our conversation is over, but I'd like to point out you and I are both in complete control in what notifications we look at. What's the fun in letting people boss me around on the Internet? Niether of us are truly doing any harm.

neverfornothing Hahaha ok... You people notice how the water respects the sky during a sunset... Well same thing would happen if the sky was red

neverfornothing @isaiahtaylorforsenate i agree about the whole water color thing but i am not as good as you are with science (math is my stronger suit haha) so ill just take your word for it... :)

isaiahtaylorforsenatereflection is only a part, guys. The water is not necessarily blue. Pure h2o is clear. No color at all. Accept that as fact. The only way for the water to have a color it is not simply reflecting is if something is added. In a red atmosphere, the planet must be iron rich with a partial oxygen atmosphere. Iron is oxidized, individual particles are absorbed into the air and water, turning both red. It's called rust. Just believe me and stop trying to sound smart, all of you

neverfornothing @isaiahtaylorforsenate are you telling this to me cause i just said that i agreed with you...
