better answer would be blue has a shorter wavelength and therefore diffuses first. which is why the ocean and sky appear blue.

The grass is green and the sky is blue so you know where to stop mowing. LOL An old commercial on TV if you remember that far back.

I've been lied by my teachers all this time? from what i learned, the sky appears blue because of the reflection of the sea. None of the answers are related to sea.
