Blue Sky
The blue color of the sky is caused by the scattering of sunlight off the molecules of the atmosphere. This scattering, called Rayleigh scattering, is more effective at short wavelengths (the blue end of the visible spectrum). Therefore the light scattered down to the earth at a large angle with respect to the direction of the sun's light is predominantly in the blue end of the spectrum.


Note that the blue of the sky is more saturated when you look further from the sun. The almost white scattering near the sun can be attributed to Mie scattering, which is not very wavelength dependent.

In spite of the fact that typo attacked me for suggesting it, I think he/she has a point that the styling of the sky appears to be influenced by the Porsche.

Except they don't share styling. They don't have the same lines or proportions. One is a targa-top, one is a convertible. The placement of the cockpit within the wheelbase...the sharpness or roundness of the fenders...c'mon guys...not even close.

Agreed, the Sky has a very long front end, the Carrera is snub-nosed.

That's not all you 'said'. You 'typed'...it's a "Porsche wannabe". I'm saying it's impossible to say the Saturn Sky is a Porsche Wannabe and maintain ANY sort of credibility. Again, it's a testament to your skewed, extremist, and flat-out WRONG views on OTHER subjects.
