I thought this was common knowledge...

The sky is blue because the oceans are blue (or reflect that color). Not the other way around...

What??? Do you think the sky is green in the middle of the Mongolian steps, or yellow in the Sahara?

Sky is blue because our atmosphere scatters the light from the sun, and the colour depends on the angle, hence why on sun rise and sun set is yellow/orange ish
