Why the Sea is blue?

One of the attributes of the water is that it is "colorless" , in short it does not have any color, but you wonder .. then Why the sea is blue? Here we tell you why.



It has spread a strong rumor that the "sea is blue" because it reflects the blue sky , but the reality is that this is a lie, because there are days where the sky is overcast and the sea is still keeping the blue.
When we find large quantities of water, which also is also mixed with other substances such as calcium carbonate or salt is more difficult than the rays of light to pass through, while some of that light is reflected in the sea (the is part of blue light, a predominant color being). The deeper the water, the more light absorbed, because it looks blue sea on the horizon more than the banks.
Also, the color of the sea is related as the sun's position, the presence of clouds in the sky and choppy water, plus its depth.
