Sea water appears blue because of the way that light interacts with the water molecules and other substances in the ocean. The ocean absorbs most of the red, orange, and yellow wavelengths of light, leaving only the blue light to be scattered back to our eyes.

No, the color of sea water does not necessarily indicate its cleanliness or pollution level. While some pollutants can give the water a different color, the color of the water alone is not a reliable indicator of its overall cleanliness.
Sea water and fresh water appear different colors due to their different chemical compositions. Fresh water does not contain as many dissolved particles as sea water, so it tends to appear clearer and can reflect more light, making it appear lighter in color.
Yes, the color of sea water can change over time due to various factors, such as changes in the amount of sediment, algae, or pollutants present. It can also appear different colors depending on the time of day and the angle and intensity of sunlight.
