College of Sciences Newsletter Edition 5 July 1, 2001












Welcome to the College of Sciences newsletter.

Summer has come, bringing with it sunny days (we hope) and new questions!
As a visitor (or resident) of the Hampton Roads area, we want you to take advantage of the natural phenonema found here: sunrises, sunsets, the ocean, bay and seashore. As you enjoy a stroll or dining at an ocean or bayside restaurant, you might wonder...

Why are sunsets red?

How can I see the "green flash"?

Why do we have blue skies?

Why are clouds ?

Why so much ?

What makes the ocean salty?

Why are oceans blue?

Why do the sun and moon look huge on the horizon?

Why does a full moon appear brighter?

How are rainbows made?
