Why is the water blue?

The most talked about theory about why water is blue. One theory about blue water is the particles in water can reflect and absorb light. We see blue because the absorption that gives water its color is in the red at the end of the color field and blue is the matching color of red when we look at light that has passed through several meters of water. Ice and snow are affected the same way as regular water. The blueness in the water is due to the absorption of red in the visible field. The surface can absorb light. It is easier to see with large bodies of water. When clouds cover the blue sky, the colors stand out more.
