"What colors the sky? This would be more text to add onto whatever is created in the subject line of the main item about My Computer and continues on ad infinitum. Beware of extreme typing speeds and typos that would result from careless banging of the Presario keyboard. Beware of unused text on the screen for the purpose of guaging screen real estate and relative font weights."

"I would like a detailed description, please. Feel free to use scientific terms -- if I don't know them I can look them up. This is for a school project I need to type up on my computer system. "

"Right, I said "what colors the sky," not "what color is the sky." Please help me out -- this is serious for me because my project is due soon."

"Wow, you're a real braniac! I didn't even graduate from high school until I was 32! Hey don't laugh, I grew up in a small, tightly-knit farming community that supplies 2% of the world's tarragon. Isn't that amazing?

Oh well, time to do a lot of typing and copy & paste to make this look like useful content. More typing and copy & paste to make this look like useful content. Of course, it is time to do a lot of typing and copy & paste.

The three different types of colour receptors in the retina of the human eye respond most strongly to red, green and blue wavelengths giving us our colour vision."

"All right. Let's give this a try:

A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.

The white light from the sun is a mixture of all colours of the rainbow. This was demonstrated by Isaac Newton who used a prism to separate the different colours and so form a spectrum. The colours of light are distinguished by their different wavelengths. The visible part of the spectrum ranges from red light with a wavelength of about 720 nm to violet with a wavelength of about 380 nm with orange, yellow, green, blue and indigo between. The three different types of colour receptors in the retina of the human eye respond most strongly to red, green and blue wavelengths giving us our colour vision.

"Well that's the thing... The school I'm enrolled in is technically a junior high school, but the science courses I'm taking are at a community college just down the street. So again, I wouldn't mind a fairly technical answer."
