Kinetic energy is energy possessed by a body by virtue of its movement. Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or state. While kinetic energy of an object is relative to the state of other objects in its environment, potential energy is completely independent of its environment. Hence the acceleration of an object is not evident in the movement of one object, where other objects in the same environment are also in motion. For example, a bullet whizzing past a person who is standing possesses kinetic energy, but the bullet has no kinetic energy with respect to a train moving alongside. read less

Why sky appears dark instead of blue to an astronaut in space?
The sky appears blue when viewed from Earth because of scattering of light particles I.e blue light gets refracted wherever there is atmosphere. As there is no atmosphere in space, astronauts see the actual colour of sky I.e black.
