That is because it is the way the sun reflects it into our eyes. As for looking better the other way round I do not think so, just would look different.

Short answers: Grass is green due to chlorophyll, the sky is blue due to the scattering of light by air particles. Long answer: Colours is how we perceive the light of different wavelength. The colour of things depends on which wavelengths of light they absorb and which wavelengths they reflect. Chlorophyll absorbs mostly blue and red parts of light spectrum, so we see the green light that it reflects. That's why grass and tree leaves are green. Particles in the atmosphere are very very small, they are smaller than the wavelength of the blue part of light spectrum, but are bigger than the wavelength of the red part. So they absorb the red colour and scatter/reflect the blue colour. That's why the sky on a sunny day appears blue.

That would be kinda interesting... but sunsets wouldnt be half as pretty.. hehe - interesting question! Did you know that the sky is really blue and the grass green because of the way the sunlight reflects off, in our eyes. I don't know too much bout that sorta thing, but I'm sure you could look it up and find sum stuff if u wanted too... I think its cos grass, for example, all the colours are absorbed except for green, so thats what we see, cos thats all thats left after the colours absorb. Well, theres ur fact for the day, unless you already knew it.
Hope I helped! :' >)

Are you sure? Is the sky really blue? Is the grass really green? Don't you think it is all only an illusion?

it is just the way earth is. If the sky was turned green and the grass turn blue im not sure if it will look better.

Because it's our nature.
No, it may look weird with green sky and blue grass. LOL

Yeah, I agree, maybe the sky should be green and the grass should be orange. That'll be awesome!
