If someone ask you, "What colour is the sky?"I think you will answer "Blue".I'm afraid that you will be
wrong. The sky has no colour. It looks blue because we are looking at blue sunlight. The sunlight is
shining on little bits of dust ( 灰尘) in the air.
Is the sky full of air? I'm sure that you have asked this question, too. We know that there is air all
around the world, but we couldn't fly very high because as we go higher, the air gets thinner. If we go far
enough away from the earth, we find there is no air.
Maybe we can answer some questions now. What is the sky? Where is it? It is all round the world. The
sky is space (宇宙空间). In space there is nothing, but only the sun, the moon, and all the stars.
