Why does the sea not appear blue when it is cloudy?

Open in App
Solution

Dear student,

On a cloudy day, there are water droplets present in the atmosphere absorb light and scatter them equally. That' the reason why ocean does not appear blue on cloudy day. On normal days the absorption and scattering is selective.
