* What part of the sky is bluest, and why isn't the entire sky a uniform color?
* Does the daytime sky color actually follow the Rayleigh prediction?
* Why isn't the sky blue on nights with a full moon? What is scattering the sunlight to produce the daytime sky color?
* Would you get a blue sky if the scatters were much larger or much smaller?
