From Rayleigh Scattering to the physics of water’s light absorption and scattering, scientists explain the blueness of our sky and oceans.. The ocean is blue because water absorbs colors in the red part of the light spectrum. Like a filter, this leaves behind colors in the blue part of the light spectrum for us to see.
