What is the reason for the Statue of Liberty being green?
The Statue of Liberty is green because its outer layer of copper has naturally oxidized and developed a green patina, a protective coating that forms when copper reacts with air, water, and pollution over time, changing from its original reddish-brown color to the iconic bluish-green we see today. This process, known as oxidation, actually protects the statue from further corrosion.
