Which of the following is an example of a scientific question that is not testable? Why is the sky blue? How moist should soil be for a tomato seed to sprout? Is the strength of steel related to the amount of carbon in it? Does the rate of cooling of a liquid depend upon its initial temperature?

its what my teacher asked

OpenStudy (anonymous):

xD Lol. The first question "Why is the sky blue" has no proof of why.

OpenStudy (jjuden):

yes there is lol A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colors because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.
