    The story/lore question and the annoying 4-year old question:

    WHY is the sky blue?

    Stephen!
    Is this a number of posts contest between you and Starr??
    If so, I'm here to add to you numbers.
    Of course the sky is only blue here ON Earth, I'm sure Richard will tell you it really is not blue elsewhere ;)

    At first I was disappointed that you translated that. Then I realized that I made a mistake in my reading I thought it meant "The snow had better be white." Maybe I shouldn't try to speak/read German where anything important is concerned. I might cause problems (like that other American sitting in jail over there.)

    This seems pretty esoteric. The best I can figure is it just means that New Britannia has a similar atmosphere and sun to what we have here on Earth.

    The sky is blue because gas molecules in the atmosphere trap shorter wavelength light (which to us looks blue), then radiate that light in a different direction, much like a prism that only bends blue light. The result of this is that the longer wavelength light waves are less impacted or not impacted at all, causing visible sunlight to generally appear anywhere from completely neutral to quite warm. (In other words, it's why things on a bright summer day look sort of reddish.) The light that you see as "sunshine" is made up of long wavelength yellows and reds (with some green to balance it out), while the sky itself looks blue due to the gasses in the atmosphere spitting out those blue waves in all directions. In other words, we only have a blue sky because of the kind of light our sun produces, the way that light is modified by the space between us and the sun, and the way our atmosphere affects that light. Skies aren't generally, as a rule, blue. ;)

    So yeah. Either this is some ridiculously vague hint that very few people will understand or poor Mr. Wolfy's account's been hacked. :/

    If this is a test lol The sky in Sota is multi colors/many colors, it depends on the time of day etc, and it will change even more when weather is introduced.
