EXAMPLE: Why is the sky blue?

The Sky is usually blue because of how we see light waves and the weather conditions.  According to scientist, humans see blue sky based on what kinds of light waves are visualized in the eye, how sunny the day is and the direction of the sunlight.  On a clear, sunny day, the sun is directly shinning on us.  Because the molecules in the air reflect the scattered blue light waves more than red or orange when it bounces off the direct sunlight, we see blue.  As the sun sets, the direction of its light goes away from us so the molecules reflect the red or orange waves of light that we see at sunsets.
