Popular Blue Things

Sky
The blue color of the sky is a result of light scattering by the constituents in the atmosphere, primarily visible nitrogen, oxygen and water vapor. The light from the sun passes through a long path of our atmosphere before reaching earth. So it bounces around … and around … and around ... way more than most people realize.

Maybe it's not the first thing that comes to our mind blue, but I think it's the most popular blue object in the world. Billions of people live in it and contain tens of billions of different stories and emotions.
