I think the ocean is blue for the same reason - water has a color. That's why when you see tap water, it's whitish and transparent. Then when it's in a giant pool, it's blue.
It's like if take a really thin paper, it's almost transparent. But then you layer another... and another... and another peice on top, then you can see the color better. It gets darker, pretty much.
Yeah. I read that in a book  |
